We believe that everyone in Scotland has an investment in their environment, but there are obviously some stakeholders that are particularly important for us when delivering our objectives. These include individuals and organisations in:

• Local government
• Public agencies
• Regulated sector (e.g. businesses)
• Communities and campaign groups
• Science and education

We are not the only organisation that has ‘green’ responsibilities. We work with local authorities on many issues, from fly-tipping to flood prevention. Find out more about ‘who does what’ in the Scottish environment.

We also work with organisations such as Scottish Natural Heritage, the Marine and Coastguard Agency, the Health and Safety Executive and many others.

Examples of our partnership working include:

• the National Waste Strategy
• local biodiversity action plans
• river catchment improvement plans
• strategic environmental assessments.
