In 2004, the Society for the Environment was granted a Royal Charter to award Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) status to dedicated and experienced environmental professionals. Today there are over 7,500 Chartered Environmentalists, drawn from a range of diverse fields such as engineering, forestry, waste management and many more.

For environmental professionals independent of discipline, Chartership reflects a high level of skill and experience, setting Chartered Environmentalists apart from others working in their field. It enhances career prospects through establishing proven expertise, experience and commitment to professional standards.

In the UK and across the world, Chartered Environmentalists utilise their specific expertise to lead departments, advise governments and work hands-on as practitioners. IEMA works closely with and are licensed by the Society, and registers more CEnvs than any other body on an annual basis.
