The Society for the Environment (SocEnv) has officially opened nominations for the prestigious 2025 SocEnv Awards! This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and recognise environmental professionals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication, innovation, and leadership in their field.
About the Awards
The SocEnv Awards highlight the achievements of individuals who have gone above and beyond to protect, preserve, or enhance the environment. Two highly sought-after awards are up for grabs:
- 2025 Environmental Professional of the Year – Recognising outstanding individuals who have made a significant impact through their environmental work.
- 2025 Rising Star – Celebrating early-career professionals who are making a difference and showing great promise in their field.
Why Nominate?
These awards provide an excellent platform to inspire future generations of environmental professionals, showcase the incredible work happening across the sector, and highlight the skills and achievements of those striving to make a difference.
Previous winners have spoken highly about the recognition that comes with the award. Adrian Mill CEnv, the reigning 2024 Environmental Professional of the Year, shared how winning the award has boosted his professional profile:
“I’m proud to tell anyone who’ll listen that I have won the award. It has led to more speaking opportunities, raising the profile of both my companies and the environmental causes I’m passionate about.”
Similarly, Claire Wansbury CEnv, the 2023 Environmental Professional of the Year, reflected on the importance of recognition in the industry:
“It is easy to take what we do day to day for granted, but we can all make a real difference. I encourage anyone considering applying or nominating a colleague to do so—it’s a simple process and allows us to celebrate the efforts and achievements of our profession.”
