CABE and SocEnv partnership

CABE has been a licensed member of the Society for the Environment (SocEnv) for several years, offering Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registration to Chartered Building Engineers and Fellows.

CABE is proud to announce that it has now gained the licence to deliver the full suite of SocEnv registrations, opening the opportunity for all CABE members to gain recognition for their environmental professionalism.

Building engineers like yourself work directly on projects that influence landscapes, ecosystems and social environments. By achieving a registration from SocEnv, you will gain recognition for your competency and prove your dedication to protecting the environment. It will also show your clients that you consider environmental and sustainability issues throughout projects.
