2023 SocEnv Awards

Celebrating those going above and beyond in their fields!

Update: Nominations are officially closed for 2023 and will reopen again in 2024.

Could you be recognised 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?

We are delighted to welcome nominations for the 2023 edition of the SocEnv Awards.

Nominate an outstanding Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv), Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP) or Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech) before the 18th April 2023 at 9am, for free.

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:

• 2023 Environmental Professional of the Year
• 2023 Registrant Newcomer of the Year

The latter is specifically available to those who registered as a CEnv, REnvP or REnvTech since January 2022. Hitting the ground running as a newly registered environmental professional is something to be celebrated. We therefore want to commend those who have thrived as a registrant in a short space of time.

Find out who the 2023 finalists are below:

• Application of knowledge
