How we use your feedback 

As Scotland’s principal environmental regulator, our purpose is to protect, improve Scotland’s environment in ways that, as far as possible, also create health and wellbeing benefits, and sustainable economic growth.

Our Corporate Plan sets our strategic direction and our Annual Operating Plan implements our priorities. In delivering these priorities we engage with those who have an interest in and are impacted by our regulations and duties. One way we engage is through consultations.

The feedback we receive through our consultations helps us understand what matters most to our communities and businesses, and shapes how we fulfil our duties. After the consultation closes, we’ll take time to consider responses before sharing an update with you through the “we asked, you said, we did” section of our consultation website.
