Could you be recognised in 2025 for your outstanding environmental work? Or do you know a deserving colleague who has recently gone above and beyond to protect or enhance the environment?
The Society for the Environment (SocEnv) is welcoming nominations for the 2025 edition of the prestigious SocEnv Awards. Designed to recognise those outstanding individuals who have innovated, inspired, and have gone beyond what’s expected in their recent work to protect, preserve, or enhance the environment, there are two prestigious awards up for grabs:
- 2025 Environmental Professional of the Year
- 2025 Rising Star Award
It is your chance to inspire the next generation, to recognise the skills of your peers and to remind one another why we’re here, doing what we do and striving every day to make a difference to the environment.
Last year’s Environmental Professional of the Year award winner, Adrian Mill CEnv, Managing Director at ESS (Environmental and Social Sustainability) and CEO at Lion Rouge, explains:
“I'm proud to tell anyone who'll listen that I have won the award - so people have a point of comparison, I liken it to a Chartered Accountant winning an award for Accountant of the Year, which I find helps people to understand how important it is. It already has resulted in me being invited to speak in more conferences, which by consequence helps to raise the profile of my companies as well as the environmental causes that I am passionate about.”
2023 Environmental Professional of the Year, Claire Wansbury CEnv, AtkinsRéalis Fellow and Technical Director Biodiversity said:
“It was such an honour to win Environmental Professional of the Year 2023. I have been fortunate during my career, and particularly in my current role with AtkinsRéalis to work on some incredible initiatives and projects. It is easy to take what we do day to day for granted, but we can all make a real difference. For anyone considering applying or proposing a colleague in future for one of the awards, I would absolutely encourage you to do so. It is a simple process and allows us to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our profession.”
