BIS supports the aerospace and defence sector on a wide range of technology activity, for example: Environmental Impact Of Aviation.
BIS ensures the international regulations and standards that are developed to minimise the impact of civil aviation are adequate, fair, contribute to the aviation industry's sustainability and are not in conflict with the legitimate interests of UK aerospace industries.
This requires policy development, co-ordination of research activities, environmental model development, project environmental assessment and environmental forecasts and scenarios. Close co-operation takes place with the Department for Transport, which takes technical advice from us. We co-operate with the International Civil Aviation Organization, European Civil Aviation Conference expert panel on the Abatement of Nuisances Caused by Air Transport (ECAC/ANCAT), United Nations Economic Commission For Europe (UNECE), and the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC).

This is coordinated through the Aerospace Technology Steering Group, which is a stakeholder group of industry and government chaired by Ric Parker, Director of Research and Technology for the Rolls-Royce Group. It reports to Ministers through both the National Aerospace Technology Strategy Group, co-chaired by Lord Drayson and Ian Pearson MP and the Leadership Council chaired by Lord Mandelson and Allan Cook, Chief Executive, Cobham.
