I am a Chemical Engineer working for Dow Corning Ltd in South Wales.  We have a large manufacturing site there and are always looking for new ways to improve our environmental performance.  I look after the site’s environmental management system (EMS) and ensure we maintain our ISO14001 registration.  I wanted to gain Chartered Environmentalist status because it provides a professional endorsement of a personal desire to improve environmental issues.  After a number of years working in the Environmental Department, it is good to have some formal recognition of that experience.

With two small children, your horizons suddenly stretch a lot further and the long term effects of actions taken today are always on your mind.  I hope that by joining the Society for the Environment, I can help to encourage improved consideration of environmental impacts across far wider areas than would otherwise be possible.

 

Environmental improvements are far easier to achieve if everyone is committed to the same sustainability goals.  With three Chartered Environmentalists now in our Department, perhaps it is no surprise that Dow Corning was recognized for its sustained environmental best practice at the Wales Environment Awards 2005
