THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS 

The ICE is a international membership organisation that exists to promote and advance civil engineering around the world. Civil Engineers design, build and maintain roads, railways, airports, ports, power stations, flood defences, water and waste systems. Where possible they seek to minimise society's impact on the environment and look for more sustainable ways of meeting our needs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:
