Latest policy activity recap
In our latest quarterly blog, we summarise our recent policy activity and impact, from urging Government to champion professional standards, to speaking up for nature, and from highlighting the importance of green skills, to calling for a National Soil Policy.
Check out the blog below.
The Environmental Policy Forum (EPF)
Collectively, the EPF continues to make the case for evidence-based environmental policy.
In 2026 so far, we have grown to 16 member organisations, with activity including responding to the recent National Planning Policy Framework consultation, and signing in support of two collaborative calls to action on nature. More information is available via the policy recap blog (linked through to above).
If your professional body/ learned society is interested in joining EPF, please get in touch with us below.
Soils and Stones project
Background to the project
Since 2019, the SocEnv Soils and Stones project has brought together experts from across a diverse range of sectors related to soil health and soil reuse, to share good practice, support and influence policymakers and foster collaboration. Our volunteers are united by a clear vision: to inspire policy makers to remove barriers and to provide incentives for our profession to realise the optimum value of soils and stones.
Latest output
Our key 2026 activity to date – from consultation responses to supporting the publication of an important parliamentary roundtable report on soils – can be viewed via our Soils and Stones project webpage.
Open for new members
Would your members like to contribute to our project and collaborate with other experts?
Ideally volunteers should also hold Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registration, though this isn’t essential. Indeed, involvement could support progression to CEnv registration through one’s professional body.
Spread the word by sharing the call for volunteers below.
Supported initiatives
SocEnv are proud to one of the founding signatories of Pledge to Net Zero, an initiative helping to turn climate ambitions into tangible action through science-based targets, good practice sharing and thought-leadership.
