For thirty years, Corporate Environmental Risk Management (CERM) has been more than an engineering and environmental consulting firm, it’s been a catalyst for growth, innovation and community transformation across the Southeast.

Founded in 1995 by two friends from Prichard, Alabama, CERM has risen from local roots to national renown. Their portfolio spans transportation, water systems, federal facilities, environmental compliance and program management, a breadth of service that reflects both technical mastery and a determination to serve communities well.

But what truly sets CERM apart is how deeply it engages with the places it works in. Beyond the job sites and plans, the firm invests in people, offering internships, mentorships, scholarships and workforce development initiatives that help shape the region’s next generation of leaders.

CERM’s commitment doesn’t stop there. Through neighborhood cleanups, toy drives and nonprofit partnerships, the firm gives back in ways that strengthen community bonds and uplift others. This dual dedication to professional excellence and civic responsibility lies at the heart of CERM’s mission.

In recognition of its sustained impact in business and community, the Mobile Chamber is proud to honor Corporate Environmental Risk Management with the 2025 Eagle Award.

The firm will be formally recognized at this year’s Eagle Awards luncheon, held on Friday, October 17, 2025 — part of the Chamber’s annual celebration of outstanding local enterprises.

Join us in celebrating CERM’s legacy of innovation, integrity and service — and the many ways it continues to help build a stronger, more resilient Southeast.
