Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management

The Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM, /ˈsaɪiːm/ SY-eem) is the professional body which represents and supports ecologists and environmental managers, mainly in the United Kingdom but increasingly in Ireland and mainland Europe, and the rest of the world.

Established in 1991, CIEEM now has over 6,000 members[1] drawn from local authorities, government agencies, industry, environmental consultancy, teaching/research, and NGOs. Formerly known as IEEM, CIEEM attained a royal charter in 2013, being recognised for its high level of professionalism.[2] The Inaugural President from 1991–94 was the ecologist Tony Bradshaw, FRS.

CIEEM provides a variety of services to develop the competency and standards of professional ecologists and environmental managers and also to promote ecology and environmental management as a profession.

CIEEM members are able to become Chartered Ecologists and/or Chartered Environmentalists.

CIEEM is a constituent body of the Society for the Environment and the European Network of Environmental Professionals (ENEP). CIEEM is also a member of the IUCN-UK Committee and a supported member of Greener UK.
