Professional Ecology and Environmental Management is Changing

The Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM) has been granted a Royal Charter. The new Charter was enacted on 1st April 2013, from which date it became the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM – pronounced ‘sy-eem’). Its members now belong to a professional body recognised for its work by HRH Queen Elizabeth II and which operates under the scrutiny of the Privy Council, ensuring the very highest of professional standards. It has a new logo but its vision and mission remain unchanged.

Vision – A society which values the natural environment and recognises the contribution of professional ecologists and environmental managers to its conservation

Mission – To promote the highest standards of professional practice, and to raise the profile of professional ecological and environmental management, for the benefit of nature and society

Included within the Charter is the power to establish a new Register of Chartered Ecologists (CEcol). We do not yet have final details on when the new Register will be launched but further information and updates will be provided on the CIEEM website and in the bulletin In Practice. CEcol will be open to all who qualify, not just CIEEM members. Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registration will continue to be available and together with CEcol will offer its diverse membership the relevant professional recognition for their specific area of expertise.

Members of the Chartered Institute will need to update their post-nominals such that for:
•    Fellows, FIEEM becomes FCIEEM;
•    Full members, MIEEM becomes MCIEEM;
•    Associate members, AIEEM becomes ACIEEM; and
•    Graduate members, GradIEEM becomes GradCIEEM.

The new website is www.cieem.net and emails will become name@cieem.net shortly. They will be keeping www.ieem.net so that any web searches or emails sent to name@ieem.net will still find them. The telephone number and postal address remain unchanged:
43 Southgate Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9EH, UK
T: +44 (0)1962 868 626
