Chartered Environmentalist

Professionalism, rigour and transparency

What is Chartered Environmentalist?

Chartered Environmentalists come from no single profession but operate across all professional sectors. There are over 8,000 registered Chartered Environmental professionals. The CEnv qualification denotes sound knowledge, proven experience and a profound commitment to sustainable best practice within their particular profession and field of expertise.

Why become Chartered?

As an environmental practitioner, you will be aware of the multitude of global environmental challenges which face society. Public expectations and demands on your knowledge and experience will continue to increase.

Environmental practitioners will need to demonstrate professionalism with ever greater rigour and transparency. This can be achieved through an independently regulated qualification that cuts across all professional disciplines.

Who can become a Chartered Environmentalist?

You can apply to become a Chartered Environmentalist if you are a Full Member or Fellow of the IES. This usually involves having at least four years’ professional experience to gain the necessary knowledge and sufficient experience to meet the competency requirements, as well as a relevant Masters-level degree or ability to demonstrate an equivalent level of knowledge through experience.

Candidates need to demonstrate their competence in four main areas: knowledge and understanding of the environment and sustainability, leading sustainable management of the environment, effective communication and interpersonal skills, and personal commitment to professional standards and obligations to society and the environment.
