WHY JOIN US

ENSHPO welcomes organisations and professionals from across Europe who share our aim of achieving better places to work. There are three ways to join, and each has its own application form, which you’ll find in the presentations at the bottom of this page.

All ENSHPO members, regardless of type of membership, are asked to share and actively promote the Mission and Vision of ENSHPO.

Mission: to promote safety, health and environment protection in all workplaces throughout Europe by engaging with decision makers and regulators, leading and supporting initiatives that raise awareness and share best practice, and creating a community of engaged professionals.

Vision: all EHS professionals in Europe will have a comparable body of knowledge and professional identity, and will perform their duties in all European countries with similar professional commitment, strong ownership of their role, and ethical conduct.

WHY JOIN US

ENSHPO is a framework for collaboration, representation and professional growth at European level. Depending on your membership category, you can:

  • Be part of a pan-European network of EHS professional organisations
  • Collaborate with peer associations, institutions and partners through working groups and collaborative projects
  • Take part in ENSHPO conferences, webinars and events, and present your experience to a European audience
  • Share and learn from European best practice and case studies

  • Access ENSHPO Professional Certifications (EurOSHM / EurOSHT), subject to applicable fees

Will you be part of it?

WHO CAN JOIN US

Full Members: National EHS Associations around Europe
One national representative association from each European country can become a Full Member. Full Members have the right to vote at the Association Meeting and may stand for election to the Management Board, chair Working Groups, and take a leadership role in European policy development and ENSHPO training governance. Full Members also take part in ENSHPO’s Working Groups, which currently cover Vision Zero, Certification and Digitalisation.

Supporter Partners
Supporter Partner status is open to organisations and individuals who demonstrate a genuine commitment to supporting the interests and purposes of ENSHPO. It offers a way to engage with our European network in an advisory and contributory capacity. There is no geographic restriction, and Supporter Partners need not operate on a non-profit basis, but they respect the non-profit purpose of all ENSHPO activities.

There are four categories:

  • International Supporter Partner: organisations, companies and networks in Europe or worldwide that share a mutual interest with ENSHPO.
  • Professional Supporter Partner: universities, public national institutes, public organisations, research centres and other entities active in Environment, Health and Safety at work.
  • Individual Supporter Partner: individual HSE professionals from countries outside ENSHPO Full Member countries.
  • Incoming EU Country Supporter Partner: organisations from countries pending accession to the European Union, with a pathway to Full Membership once their country joins.

Supporter Partners receive invitations to member meetings, regular information and newsletters, opportunities to take part in EU-funded projects, to contribute to ENSHPO publications and campaigns and to present at ENSHPO events, access to EurOSHM / EurOSHT certifications (subject to fees), use of the ENSHPO logo in line with our branding guidelines, and a place in our Working Groups in an advisory capacity. Supporter Partner status does not include voting rights, eligibility for election to the Management Board, the right to chair Working Groups or hold coordination roles, or leadership in policy development or training governance, which are reserved for Full Members.

ENSHPO Ambassadors are appointed by Management Board resolution and cannot be applied for.

Sponsors
Sponsorship is a separate track from Supporter Partner status, for organisations that want to support ENSHPO’s work and raise their profile with a European EHS audience. Sponsors receive invitations to events held and attended by ENSHPO, a web banner and listing on the ENSHPO website, regular social media features, logo placement in our newsletter, an article on the ENSHPO website each year, annual local and EU webinars, and first option on additional ENSHPO sponsorship opportunities.
