Society for the Environment
- Society for the Environment
The Society for the Environment (SocEnv) is an umbrella body that can license its member institutions to confer chartered status on sustainability and environmental professionals worldwide. It was established in response to the need to encourage the highest levels of professionalism in the field of sustainbility.
The Society aspires to be the leading and co-ordinating body for professionals working in sustainbility and 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.
Each of the member institutions will retain its unique identity and remain a centre of excellence within its field. SocEnv attained Royal Chartered status on 6th May 2004 and issued the first licences to enable the award of Chartered Environmentalist in September 2004.
