Chartered Environmentalists come from no single profession but operate across all professional sectors. There are over 7,500 registered chartered environmental professionals, their qualification (CEnv) denotes sound knowledge, proven experience and a profound commitment to sustainable best practice within their particular profession and field of expertise.
Charterships offered by the IES
The CSci designation demonstrates a high level of competence and professionalism in science. At present there are over around 10,500 Chartered Scientists working across all sectors of science. Being chartered is the mark of professional recognition and being a Chartered Scientist allows all scientists working at the full professional level to be recognised on an equal footing.
