ABOUT THE JOB

Working within ENDS

ENDS is the UK’s and Europe’s leading news and information service for environmental professionals. Through its specialist publications and digital products, ENDS provides trusted journalism and intelligence that helps professionals understand developments, navigate regulatory and market changes, and make informed decisions.

Nearly in its 50th year, ENDS Report is the UK’s leading publication for environmental professionals, with a formidable reputation for award-winning agenda-setting journalism. We are known for our unparalleled analysis of environmental policy, fearless investigative reporting, and for holding those in power to account. Our journalism provides the critical scrutiny required to drive real change.

ENDS Europe is Europe’s environmental news service, reporting on EU and European environmental policymaking as it happens across a comprehensive range of issues — including climate, emissions, nature, chemicals, and water pollution — for an international audience of policymakers, influencers, and industrial regulatory and sustainability managers.

The Role

• The reporter produces accurate, engaging, and well-informed news and analysis on the defining environmental issues of our time – from toxic chemical pollution and the biodiversity crisis to waste crime. Their reporting keeps subscribers across ENDS Report and ENDS Europe informed and equipped to do their jobs effectively. They are responsible for identifying and pursuing original stories, monitoring a wide range of sources and developing relationships with contacts across the environment space.
• While primarily focused on day-to-day news reporting, the role offers regular opportunities to contribute to data journalism, research projects, podcasting, and longer‑form features. The reporter also plays a vital role in supporting the ENDS group’s proprietary tracker services, monitoring key regulatory sources and ensuring database updates are published accurately and promptly.
• The reporter will actively build and nurture a reliable network of contacts across Westminster, Brussels, and the wider environmental sector by attending industry conferences and policy events. Working collaboratively with colleagues, they will contribute ideas to the wider editorial team and help maintain the high standards of journalism that the ENDS audience expects.
