Vision and Values

ENEP seeks to be the leading organization for all Environmental Professionals across Europe.

By being a Federation of Environmental Associations, it is uniquely placed to promote and co-ordinate the many and varied aspects of environmental work and environmental professionals while maintaining the separate identities of its member organizations.

ENEP believes environmental professionalism is one of the essential prerequisites for achieving sustainability.

ENEP seeks to influence and implement the environmental agenda throughout Europe. It will do so by being respected for its adherence to sound, objective science rather than political lobbying but will be proactive where scientific or technical evidence supports it. Where possible it will also use its influence within the wider global context and beyond the European boundaries.

As members of ENEP we will achieve this through the following and other appropriate means:

• contributing to the development of environmental policy within the EU and other appropriate bodies;
• advising on and disseminating information on EU Legislation and its implementation;
• instigating co-operation between Professional Environmental organizations;
• encouraging co-operation and contacts between the individual environmental professionals who are the members of the organizations within ENEP;
• providing, either itself or through its members, conferences and seminars on relevant environmental issues;
• promoting training and development of skills across a broad spectrum of European environmental issues;
• exchange of knowledge, information and experiences between members;
• developing common standards of excellence, competence and good practice;
• raising public awareness of current environmental issues across Europe;
• promoting the role of the Environmental Professionals in society at large.
