Who are we?

The Society for the Environment (SocEnv) is the independent body that regulates the award of the Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) qualification.

Through our twenty three member bodies, we recognise the expertise and achievements of environmental professionals working throughout the UK and abroad.

SocEnv is incorporated by Royal Charter, and seeks to both inform and influence policy at the highest level.

Our Vision:

Sustainability Through Environmental Professionalism

We aim to focus the expertise of our member organisations in order to deliver a sustainable future for everyone.

We will champion better public understanding of environmental management, sustainable practice and sustainable development.

Our Mission Statement

The Society aspires to be the leading and co-ordinating professional body in environmental matters and a pre-eminent champion of a sustainable environment. The Society will achieve this by nurturing and harnessing the combined resources, knowledge, expertise and achievements of the professional and learned bodies which are its Members.

“The Society for the Environment has a key role to play in co-ordinating and representing the views of the environmental professions on how best to meet the challenges of climate change, and of development within environmental limits.”
