02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Environmental Protection Scotland (EPS) has roots stretching back to the 19th Century. It brings together individuals and organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors to discuss and promote ideas, knowledge and solutions to achieve our aim of a cleaner, quieter, healthier and sustainable Scotland. We are active and influential in the fields of air quality, land quality, noise, and are at the fore of emerging environmental issues, including working towards sustainable development for a resilient Scotland. Our Expert Groups offer impartial environmental advice and policy updates based on sound science and research. We will work to deliver those topics as a means to protect and improve public health, tackle climate change and address sustainable development.
