Shaping Illinois’ environmental regulations
Illinois businesses have discovered the power of partnering with IERG to stay informed, compliant, and proactive in developing the environmental regulatory landscape.
Advancing business interests since 1985
IERG's inception realized a better way to navigate our state's environmental challenges—a pathway of empowerment rather than sacrifice for businesses.
Working alongside governmental agencies and with our members’ support, we find environmentally and economically sustainable solutions for Illinois businesses. Sound science and data should always guide legislative and regulatory outcomes. We advocate to balance reasonable regulations with our common desire to protect the environment, an effort we find worthwhile!

IERG Areas of Impact
Our 100+ years of cumulative industry experience enables us to be at the forefront of regulatory developments in these areas:
Water
We ensure groundwater and wastewater permit development strategies are measured rather than reactive.
Air
When governmental agencies adopt or revise air quality regulations, we seek a measured approach to decision-making.
Energy
We monitor energy-related policies and legislative updates so our members are well-informed.
Waste
When dealing with regulations that impact waste disposal, we lead by providing scientific-based recommendations.
Climate and sustainability
We host meetings with important stakeholders to discuss the most pressing issues facing Illinois’ business communities.
Land
Representing our Members on a variety of land-related issues, from construction debris and demolition to site remediation, we insist on precise language preventing adverse impact to business.
Environmental justice
Businesses are committed to strengthening their relationship with communities. We attend and monitor federal and state initiatives to keep our members up-to-date on what’s influencing policy.
