Leading Experts in Environmental and Social Advisory Services

CES is an established environmental practice founded in 1990 specializing in environmental management, impact assessments, and social advisory services across 20 countries.

The Company has grown significantly since those early days, due to the increased demand for our high quality environmental and social advisory services across 20 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Our founding partner, Dr Ted Avis remains with the company, and some of our staff have been with us for more than two decades, so there is continuity in our service offerings.

CES retains an office in East London and, since 2020, we have adopted a hybrid approach at a number of other locations: we have staff complements in Cape Town, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Makhanda (Grahamstown), the Gauteng area, Pietermaritzburg (KZN), Stilbaai and George. Registered in 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Coastal and Environmental Services LDa., has offices in Maputo, Mozambique.

Thank you for visiting our web page.

Our CES logo and brand is well-known in the environmental market and synonymous with respected experts and credible outputs.  However, we updated and modernised the original logo designed in 1990 to match the evolution of the business since its establishment in 1990.

A bit about our logo…

• The new logo builds on the original circular logo but has a more contemporary look and feel.
• The inclusion of the African and European continents represents CES’s expanding geographical footprint.
• The circular characters in the font mirror the globe and represent the outward looking approach the company has taken to expand its service offerings.  
• The recognisable and iconic turquoise colour associated with the CES brand over 35 years returns to represent the quality, expertise and longevity of the business.
