About us
Who we are
The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) is the leading professional membership body representing and supporting ecologists and environmental managers in the UK, Ireland and abroad. Our Vision is of a healthy natural environment for the benefit of current and future generations.
With a growing membership and an increasingly influential voice we are transforming the professionalism of the sector, just as our members are transforming understanding of, and attitudes towards, protecting and enhancing our natural environment.
By working together, we believe we can make a difference, leading to a world rich in biodiversity for the benefit of us all, now and in the future.
Our culture and values
The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) is widely recognised as the leading professional membership body for Ecologists and Environmental Managers working to protect and enhance nature for the benefit of society.
Not all of our staff are Ecologists or Environmental Managers, but we are all passionate about tackling the biodiversity and climate crises, and if you are too then you are very welcome to join our team. We cover a broad range of skills (Membership, Professional Development, Professional Standards, Policy, Marketing, Communications, Finance, etc.) which collectively help to keep CIEEM running smoothly and effectively.
Why work with us?
- Because we are passionate about ensuring the future of our planet.
- We are passionate about engaging as many people as we can reach to realise our Vision.
- We offer a range of benefits as well as being a nurturing and fun organisation.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Whilst the ecology and environmental management sector is currently not very diverse, it is trying to change. Our ambition as the professional membership body is to champion the journey to become more ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+ inclusive and disability confident. This work starts with us and our immediate aim is to build a more diverse and inclusive team at CIEEM that can then lead and influence others.
