CSA Environmental Joins Includability as a Committed Employer

CSA Environmental is committed to delivering better outcomes for People, Places & Nature.

That same commitment extends to the wellbeing and culture of its own team, with values centred around people, collaboration, quality and integrity. Becoming an Includability Committed Employer is a natural next step.

As a multidisciplinary consultancy, CSA Environmental provides services across ecology, landscape, heritage and masterplanning.

Founded in 1998, the business has grown to five offices in Basingstoke, Brighton, Hertfordshire, Sheffield and Tewkesbury, with a team of almost 90 people.

Its work ranges from biodiversity net gain and habitat banks to masterplanning and landscape design behind award-winning developments. Clients include housebuilders, utility companies, renewable energy organisations, conservation organisations, land promoters, landowners and public bodies.

Behind that work is a highly talented and dedicated team — one CSA Environmental is immensely proud of and equally committed to supporting.

Supporting People as Well as Places

The care CSA Environmental brings to the projects it works on is also reflected in how it supports its people.

The company already provides an Employee Assistance Programme, has trained Mental Health First Aiders and is Great Place to Work Certified for 2026, with its people rating the organisation well above the UK average as a great place to work.

By becoming a Committed Employer, CSA Environmental is choosing to bring the same evidence-led approach it applies to ecological and planning work into the continued development of its workplace culture.

As part of the process, Includability will support CSA Environmental through the creation of a Cultural Roadmap — an expert-led review across six workplace culture pillars:

• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
• Mental Health
• Wellbeing
• Sustainability & Impact
• Talent Management
• Leadership & Governance

The Cultural Roadmap will give CSA Environmental a clear, board-ready view of what is already working, where opportunities exist and where to focus next as the business continues to grow.

James Pravato, CEO & Co-Founder at Includability, said:

“Attracting, retaining and developing talent in the green sector is a huge challenge. So there’s something fitting about a business that spends its days protecting habitats choosing to look this closely at how it protects its own people.
“That’s exactly the kind of thinking we exist to back up with evidence and strategy.”

Katie Critchley, Director, Ecology at CSA Environmental, said:

“At CSA, we’ve always said our people are at the heart of everything we do, so becoming a Committed Employer with Includability felt like a natural next step.
It’s not a box-ticking exercise. It’s a real commitment to making sure everyone on our team feels supported, valued and able to do their best work.”
