Meet our Northern Ireland Steering Group

My name is Carol Martin and I am the current ISEP Steering Group Chair in Northern Ireland. I have a Degree in Environmental Science and a Masters in Environmental Management. I have been an ISEP member since its inception and have worked in Conservation and Environmental Management throughout my career. As a consultant I have written Environmental and Quality management systems for companies in NI. As a Volunteer for ISEP I like to facilitate the sharing of Knowledge, Expertise and Support to all our regional members through networking. I am delighted that the profile for Environmental Protection is growing globally and more people are recognising the need to act responsibly with future generations in mind.

I have become involved in environmental management since I have started my health and safety career back 20 years ago and in 2014 I completed ISEP's environmental management certificate. I am very passionate about protecting and promoting biodiversity and in particular, trees, birds and bumble bees.

This diverse background has equipped me with a broad skill set and a comprehensive understanding of different industry dynamics. I am passionate about collaboration and process improvement with an overall goal to try and maximise value and impact. Keen to stay up to date with the latest climate science, I am currently studying for a PG Cert in Climate Change at Queens University, Belfast.
