We are delighted to welcome 3 new Employer Champions

The Society for the Environment (SocEnv) have recently awarded three new companies with the Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) Employer Champion status for their dedication to employee development, support individuals through the application process, promote time for CPD and commit to championing their experts in a variety of ways.

New Employer Champions:

1. Soiltechnics
2. MKO
3. Ramboll

The Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) and Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech) Employer Champion programmes recognise and reward organisations that demonstrate a sustained commitment to developing their employees specialising in environmental disciplines. These organisations value professional registration from a senior level, support individuals through the process and commit to championing their experts.

We first welcomed Soiltechnics, an owner-managed private company specialising in ground-related risk management and building fabric investigation, into the programme in mid-June. Through a pragmatic and practical approach, Soiltechnics design, undertake, and report on ground investigations and structural fabric surveys, adding value throughout the consultancy process. Theye believe that collaboration with clients, decision-makers, and data users leads to cost-effective investigations, high-quality decision-making, and effective risk management.

After achieving the status of Employer Champion, they have said, “Supporting the professional development of our employees and protecting the environment are founding principles of Soiltechnics and remain central to our work every day. We are so proud to be recognised as a CEnv Employer Champion, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, continuous learning and providing consultancy services to the highest standards.”

Next we have MKO, our first Irish consultancy in the programme, MKO is Ireland’s largest Planning and Environmental consultancy. Their team of 200+ experienced professionals work across the planning, environmental, ecology and related fields, delivering challenging and complex projects for clients and have an unrivalled track record of success.

On becoming a champion they have said: “MKO is proud to be recognised as a Chartered Environmentalist Employer Champion. One of our goals is to be the company that the best people in our fields aspire to work and grow with. MKO fosters a culture of knowledge sharing and a company-wide learning environment that encourages continuous learning and supports our people to achieve their career potential. This award backs up our commitment to investing in our people, training and professional development.”

Finally, our most recent addition to the programme is Ramboll, a global architecture, engineering and consultancy company founded in Denmark in 1945. With 18,000 experts create sustainable solutions across Buildings, Transport, Energy, Environment & Health, Water, Management Consulting and Architecture & Landscape. Ramboll combine insights with the power to drive positive change for clients and are ranked among the world’s top ten environmental and sustainability consultancies.

On their recent award Ramboll have said, “Ramboll’s employees are key to our mission to create sustainable societies where people and nature flourish. Chartership not only helps recognise in-demand specialist capabilities, but it also encourages individuals to continually challenge and expand industry understanding of environmental best practise. Ramboll is proud to become a SocEnv Employer Champion, ensuring our people feel valued, supported and empowered to both develop and apply their environmental expertise to deliver sustainable change.”

Registration as a CEnv demonstrates that an individual has been judged by their peers to be working at the highest possible standards in the environmental profession.

Employers of CEnvs benefit too, as the registration showcases the expertise and capabilities of their workforce. To be recognised as a CEnv Employer Champion highlights all of this and more, as it shows that your organisation provides the relevant support and opportunities for employees to excel. Therefore, we are delighted to have leading organisations in our programme and cannot wait to collaborate with the three new employer champions alongside our other champions to help further our mission of ‘a sustainable future shaped by environmental professionalism’.
