It’s traditional in an Annual Report to look back on the year just gone and we in SocEnv can do so with a sense of real achievement. As you read through the report you will see what can be done by a small team of committed individuals with the generous support of a Board and cadre of volunteer committee members who have given so freely of their time and expertise. It’s a great tribute to all those involved that such a lot has been achieved and I extend my very grateful thanks to all.

Looking forward though is so much more important. We cannot afford to simply refl ect on what we have done – we need to grow our aspirations and renew our enthusiasm to achieve more. In the changing economy and political landscape, new challenges for environmentalists will continue to emerge. The urgent need to control

our carbon emissions and adapt to a changing climate is just one of these areas in which we as professionals will continue to play a role.

We can infl uence the development of new models for sustainable living and enable greater environmental understanding through our individual networks and through our partner organisations. We can do much more to help each other understand the complex processes which shape and threaten our environment by creating closer ties between our constituent bodies.

Building on our successes is the route for SocEnv to grow in size, reputation and infl uence and I look forward to seeing an ever increasing number of Chartered Environmentalists who can all contribute to our activities.

Our environment is changing rapidly and signifi cantly and I’m confi dent that SocEnv will seize the opportunities to infl uence the direction and scope of that change and look forward to a year in which we exceed the achievements of the past.

John Gregory, Chairman of the Society for the Environment

Chair’s Report

The importance of environmental professionalism was never more evident than in 2009. It was clear from an individual perspective, as the number of Chartered Environmentalists in the UK and abroad rose to new record highs; it was also clear from an organisational perspective, as SocEnv grew its membership level to 23 member bodies across a spectrum of professions and reached out to their well over 400,000 members; and it was clear from the ongoing debate on environmental issues and the efforts to regulate and encourage a pathway to a more sustainable future and the transition to a low carbon economy.

The number of new Chartered Environmentalists registered was well above the predicted number of new registrations, and by the end of 2009 more than 5,600 professionals had achieved the status of Chartered Environmentalist.

After fi ve years of operating under the Royal Charter, the Society entered a phase of applying its own experience and learning for the benefi t of its members and registrants.

SocEnv has managed to maintain the standard of the qualifi cation at a high level and has initiated a review of its Practice Directions, to ensure that the registration is fi t for purpose and matches the expectations of both our member bodies and of Chartered Environmentalists.

The Society also began its fi rst round of fi ve-year audits of the member organisations that were originally licensed to award the qualifi cation, and the three member bodies concerned all had their licences renewed.

There was a deliberate shift in the Society’s work in 2009 from primarily focusing on internal issues to a more evenly balanced mix between internal and external engagement. We have made changes to the website and the preparation for and participation in the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen gave momentum to these changes and has led to greater external exposure. It is encouraging that we can measure a signifi cantly increased interest in our website. We believe that the improvement of our website will encourage even greater interaction directly with the Chartered Environmentalists.

The quarterly newsletter will continue to be a regular feature, helping to inform and engage the Chartered Environmentalists as well as the Board.

We have circulated an open letter to the UK Parliament and devolved parliaments of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and received some very encouraging feedback from their members.

2009 laid the foundation for SocEnv’s continued growth and engagement beyond the registration of the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation, which will be maintained at the highest possible level to refl ect the importance of environmental professionalism for a sustainable future.

John Carstensen, Chief Executive Offi cer, Society for the Environment

Chief Executive’s Report

7

The Society for the Environment is the independent, non-political umbrella body for organisations with a professional interest in sustainable best practice.

Since achieving our Royal Charter in 2004, our purpose has been to support and champion the role of environmental professionals everywhere. The organisations that form our membership represent hundreds of thousands of practitioners, working across a broad range of disciplines and sectors.

SocEnv is responsible for granting licences to professional organisations to award the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation (CEnv) to their suitably qualifi ed individual members. There are currently 23 licensed SocEnv members through which over 6000 individuals have registered as Chartered Environmentalists; CEnv is rapidly becoming recognised as the highest level of professional qualifi cation available to environmental practitioners.

The Object of the Society’s Royal Charter is:

• To promote the advancement of, dissemination of, knowledge of, and education in good environmental practice for the public benefi t.

In pursuing the object, SocEnv will also endeavour to:

• nurture cohesion between industry, business, government and the public on environmental matters;

• increase environmental best practice by harnessing the expertise of environmental professionals and connecting it across a wide array of disciplines; and

• coordinate the views of professional environmentalists across all disciplines and provide independent and well-informed appraisals of environmental issues for government, the public and the business community.

The Society’s organisational structure

9

By the end of 2009, the total number of registered Chartered Environmentalists had risen to 5635, across 72 different countries around the world.

Chartered Environmentalists are drawn from no one profession. They work across industry, government, education and the public sector. What they share is a commitment to environmental best practice and a high degree of expertise in their fi eld.

Why are Chartered Environmentalists important?

Growing recognition of the environmental challenges we face means that the role of the Chartered Environmentalist is increasingly important too. Registration

sets the Chartered Environmentalist apart from others working in their fi eld. It establishes proven knowledge, experience and commitment to professional standards, and enhances employability.

International Recognition

The Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation puts professional environmentalists on a par with other professionals, such as Chartered Engineers and Chartered Scientists. Already, 10% of Chartered Environmentalists are registered outside the UK - we expect that, as global membership increases, CEnv status will become the international benchmark for environmental professionals worldwide.

Being a Chartered Environmentalist

The increase in Chartered Environmentalists

Promotion of the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation has been central to SocEnv’s work since the Royal Charter was awarded in 2004. In 2004/05 a large number of individuals became registered as Chartered Environmentalists through the grandparent route of the founder 12 Licensed Member bodies.

Between 2006 and 2009, a further 12 professional bodies became licensed to award the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation, resulting in over 5600 registered CEnvs by the end of 2009. Encouragingly, the number of new Chartered Environmentalists registered in 2009 was double the number registered in the previous year.

The chart below plots the growth in the number of new Chartered Environmentalist registrations over six years. We are pleased to see a consistent renewal rate of 98%.

Chartered Environmentalists by sector

SocEnv’s licensed bodies represent a very diverse number of professions, and Chartered Environmentalists work across these sectors as illustrated above. This diversity highlights an important recent shift, as environmental best practice has become a key part of overall business strategy in most industries and sectors.

Now more than ever, business, government and the public are turning to those professionals with environmental skills and competencies for help with the challenges posed by climate change and the need to move to a low carbon economy.

Baroness Barbara Young of Old Scone, Chartered Environmentalist

Baroness Young was the fi rst professional individual to be awarded the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation. Baroness Young puts climate change at the top of the agenda for the immediate future and sums up what ‘Chartered Environmentalist’ means to her as: “Quality, legitimacy - and being on the side of the good guy.”

“I thought the initiative of SocEnv was a really good one,” Baroness Young said, “both in a professional sense in terms of quality assurance and in the way it brought together so many different professions. On a personal level, having worked in the environment for so many years, but with no formal qualifi cation, it was really nice to have it recognised that you can gain knowledge through experience, and not just through exams.”

“It’s one of the qualifi cations I’ve got that I’m proudest of,” she added.

Whilst acknowledging that it is still comparatively early days for the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation, she believes SocEnv should:

a) show employers that individuals are keen to achieve it

b) prove that the market sees it as a standard it can rely on, and

c) show individuals that employers are keen to see their employees awarded it.

“We need to achieve that ‘three card trick’ for future development,” she said. “The ability to see wider than your own professional body is going to become more and more important, and SocEnv can give the opportunities for that umbrella overview.”

Sarah McCarney, Chartered Environmentalist

Sarah McCarney qualifi ed as a Chartered Environmentalist at the end of 2009 through the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM), becoming the 1000th professional to register as CEnv through CIWEM. Sarah is a Catchment Sensitive Farming Offi cer for the Environment Agency and joined CIWEM as a graduate member. Through CIWEM she has progressed to Chartered Environmentalist having completed an MSc in Environmental Management and gained 14 years experience as a practitioner in the environmental sector.

Outlining her reasons for aspiring to chartered status, Sarah explained: “I felt that I would benefi t in terms of enhancing my knowledge and career prospects.”

CIWEM’s Executive Director, Nick Reeves, said: “I am delighted that Sarah is our 1,000th Chartered Environmentalist. She joins a growing and important cohort of chartered environmental professionals contributing to the status and standing of environmental practice.”

Sustainability Live in May

The Society returned to Sustainability Live after a two-year break to fi nd the conference much more geared to the environmental professional.

Interest in the CEnv qualifi cation was high, with visitors coming to the SocEnv stand specifi cally to explore the most appropriate route to becoming chartered. The levels of prior knowledge of Chartered Environmentalist status displayed by attendants clearly showed how the qualifi cation has become better established.

Appointment of a new Chief Executive in August

After 12 months as Acting Chief Executive, Kerry Geldart resumed her role as Finance & Development Manager and SocEnv welcomed a new permanent Chief Executive Offi cer, John Carstensen. John, who started his new role in August, has 25 years’ experience working on environmental issues, climate change and sustainable development.

John joins us from INTRAC, the international research and training organisation for NGOs, where he was Chief Operating Offi cer. He previously worked at the United Nations Environment Programme headquarters in Nairobi and

its regional offi ce in Geneva. He has overseen waste, biodiversity, resource management and pollution control programmes in places as diverse as Thailand, Vietnam and Egypt, and spent ten years with the Danish EPA and Ministry of the Environment.

The Honorary Fellowship Awards in June & December

In June and December the Society hosted receptions for around 100 guests. In June, we were delighted to be joined by special guests Jonathon Porritt and Lord Chris Smith, Chairman of the Environment Agency. Speaking at the event, Jonathon highlighted the strategic importance of the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation, at a time when urgent action is required to deliver government promises on sustainability.

”We have a terrible record of leading the world on rhetoric and then failing to deliver in our own backyard,” he said. “We are on a long journey to turn an economy from unsustainable economic growth into genuinely sustainable economic development. I’m confi dent we are moving in the right direction, it’s just happening much too slowly.”

Lord Chris Smith of Finsbury kindly attended the event to present both Colin Challen MP and Jonathon Porritt with the award of Honorary Fellow of the Society for the Environment.

SocEnv Highlights 2009

The Society may confer the Award of an Honorary Fellowship (HonFSE) on any individual who the Society feels to be:-

• a person of distinction with a concern for the environment

• a person who has rendered outstanding service to sustainability, or

• a person who has rendered outstanding service to the Society.

At a similar Reception in December, the Right Honourable Hilary Benn joined us to celebrate a successful year and to present SocEnv’s past Chairman, John Brady HonFSE, with an Honorary Fellowship for his part in establishing the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation as a founding Board Member.

Environment Agency Conference in November

SocEnv exhibited at the Environment Agency Conference in November 2009. Through the two days of seminars, a

theme emerged around how businesses, local authorities and industries can ensure they have the necessary skills and competencies in place to meet environmental challenges.

This provided another indication that the capabilities of Chartered Environmentalists will be increasingly in demand as the world searches for solutions to climate change and seeks to move to a low carbon economy.

The Copenhagen Climate Summit in December

There is no doubt that the outcome of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the parties (COP-15) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Copenhagen was disappointing to many environmentalists.

15

It is encouraging that some countries, particularly in the EU, have embraced the low carbon vision of the future and that the UK has committed itself to this transition in legislation. However, SocEnv would have welcomed a clearer signal from world leaders that the transition to a low carbon future had begun globally.

Globally there is no legally binding commitment and no clear reduction target, which means that the need for environmental professionalism is now even greater, to deal with the impacts of climate change and to demonstrate what is required to move to a low carbon society.

There were positives to be drawn from the conference. Side events and the response from business showed that there are great opportunities for jobs, the economy and our wellbeing, the sooner we embrace a low carbon society. Chartered Environmentalists and SocEnv are ready to do so.

The conference also provided an opportunity for SocEnv to engage directly with Chartered Environmentalists through a Q&A feature on our website, daily blogs and greater exposure in the media, with a letter to the editor appearing in the Guardian during the conference.

In the short term the UK will be able to cope with the increased burden of adapting to climate change, but the demands on Chartered Environmentalists and others who seek environmental professionalism to climate-proof our future

New Constituent Body Member –The Institution of Engineering Designers

Towards the end of 2009, SocEnv welcomed a new Constituent Body, the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED). The IED was founded in 1945, and currently has just under 4,000 individual members.

The Institution’s goals are:

• to advance education in Engineering and, more particularly, the species of knowledge and application which distinguishes Engineering Design, and the profession directly concerned with Engineering Design, and

• to constitute a body of members qualifi ed to a generally recognised high standard.

In 2007, the IED introduced a sustainability policy, addressing environmental and ethical concerns with reference to both its staff and members. Good environmental practice is promoted regularly to members through articles in the Institution’s journal, online and through the promotion of standards and regulations.

As all members have to adhere to the relevant legislation, environmental issues are relevant across the spectrum of membership. The IED is expected to become licensed to award the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation to its suitably qualifi ed members in early 2010.

SocEnv’s new Eminent Practitioner Route

Towards the end of 2009, the Eminent Practitioner Route for Chartered Environmentalist applications was approved by the SocEnv Board. The Eminent Practitioner Route has been developed to attract potential Chartered Environmentalist registrants who hold senior posts in industry, commerce and the public

are now greater than ever.

sector, whose leadership in environmental management is a core part of their roles and who have the competencies required for the award of the Chartered Environmentalist qualifi cation.

For a variety of reasons, some of these eligible individuals may not have applied for Chartered Environmentalist registration through either the initial grandparent route or, post grand-parenting, by the Standard Route. In recognition of the important contribution that Eminent Practitioners could make to SocEnv, as role models to junior practitioners and particularly as potential ambassadors for SocEnv and the

CEnv qualifi cation, SocEnv has developed a streamlined method of application. It is hoped that the Eminent Practitioner Route will encourage registration of senior individuals with demonstrable expertise against the 13 competencies required by the Chartered Environmentalist Specifi cation.

In order to offer the Eminent Practitioner Route to members, Licensed Bodies will be required to apply to the SocEnv Registration Authority for an addendum to their Licence and will need to demonstrate how they will incorporate this route into their existing assessment procedures.

Future FocusOur 2010 Business Plan aims to build the basis for growing the number of registered Chartered Environmentalists and a small increase in the number of Constituent Bodies. It prioritises improved communication, including greater visibility to the media and decision-makers, while maintaining and improving the registration authority. At the same time, the business plan keeps a clear focus and priority on the actions identifi ed during the 2009 strategy discussions.

We recognise that there is an increasing appetite in society for the environmental skills and competencies required to achieve ambitious goals, in particular around climate change mitigation and adaptation, but also concerning sustainability more widely.

Employers and environmental organisations in the UK want more engagement with SocEnv, to promote environmental professionalism and engage in environmental policy discussions. To meet this demand, our work must concentrate on two areas; the review and revision of SocEnv’s Practice Directions and efforts to improve and expand our communications.

SocEnv must achieve a better balance between engaging in internal matters and engaging outside the Society. At the same time we must recognise that the organisational structure that underpins SocEnv is very small, and it is therefore vital that we stay focused on a limited number of activities, external as well as internal, to ensure that what we prioritise has maximum impact.

SocEnv’s efforts fall primarily in two categories: registration and policy engagement. Whereas registration could be managed from virtually any location, it is clear that the wider engagement with policy debates, events and other stakeholders requires closer proximity to London. Therefore it may be necessary to relocate the offi ce.

17

We undertook an initial green audit of SocEnv HQ and operations in February and March 2010. This was principally to establish a crude carbon footprint, so we can measure progress towards our 10:10 goal - that is, a 10% overall carbon saving on 2010 over 2009.

The operational footprint is in the region of 10.5 tonnes of CO2 per annum, excluding all committee travel. Committee travel accounts for a further 4.5 tonnes, taking the total up to 15 tonnes of CO2.

Staff business travel makes up 30% of the total footprint, with the bulk of the rest being offi ce heating and power.

We did not fi nd any signifi cant departures from good practice at SocEnv HQ, but the process highlighted that there is a lot of committee travel, some of it over long distances.

The offi ce is generally well run, minimising and recycling some waste and minimising the consumption of resources. The most signifi cant (non-energy) impact is offi ce printing, paper and ink usage. The audit also noted that the offi ce building is not energy effi cient.

Given the plans to relocate the offi ce as part of the 2010 business plan, there are opportunities to improve our operational energy effi ciency. It is recommended that the energy performance rating of any new location (and the potential for a cost-effective upgrade) is taken into account as a prime factor at the time of the next offi ce move. This could yield carbon savings of between one and three tonnes of CO2 per annum, as well as providing an opportunity for SocEnv to display its commitment to best environmental practice.

The audit also highlighted the scope to review all offi ce procurement; for example to screen any decision to replace offi ce equipment, prioritising energy ratings and green credentials.

A focus on carbon effi ciency during 2010 should deliver the 10% savings sought, and more.

SocEnv had a very successful year, attracting good numbers of new Chartered Environmentalists as well as retaining a very high proportion of those already registered. This meant that SocEnv achieved both its income target and Chartered Environmentalist recruitment target for 2009 within the fi rst half of the year.

The 2009 year-end outturn was better than predicted, delivering an operating surplus of £57k, double that of the previous year.

The increase to the Chartered Environmentalist registration and renewal fee in 2009 also contributed to the overall increase in revenue. Given the wider economic circumstances, and the positive fi nancial position of the Society, CEnv fees will remain frozen at 2009 levels through to the end of 2011.

SocEnv’s policy on reserves is to retain six months’ operating funds, and SocEnv plans to invest the surplus income into a relocation and recruitment strategy.We are currently in the process of developing a long term ethical investment strategy.
