The Environment Agency corporate scorecard shows a high level overview of our performance against our environmental and business aims.
We update the Environment Agency’s executive directors and the board on the corporate scorecard progress every 3 months. Our corporate scorecard enables us to monitor how well we are achieving our stated aims as set out in the Environment Agency Action plan. It is also shared with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
Corporate scoreard 2020 to 2021 quarter (Q) one starts 1 April 2020 and ends 30 June 2020. The year end is 31 March 2021.
1. Corporate scorecard summary page
The Environment Agency use a red amber green system to see at a glance how we are performing. They are:
- green which means we are performing at or above the target(s) set
- amber which means we are falling slightly short of the target
- red which means there are improvements to be made
This table shows the red, amber green scores for the 13 measures plus the actual and target figures.

The national position has reduced, from 96.1% in 2019/20 quarter four, to 95.8% in quarter one, against the 2020/21 target of 98%. The asset condition is due to increased damage during multiple significant flood events in 2019 and 2020. COVID-19 restrictions have slowed our repair and asset inspection programmes. We will complete the backlog of inspections during quarter two. The government has provided £120 million of additional funding for asset repairs that are now underway or planned in 2020/21.
During quarter two we are giving priority to asset inspection, assessment and repairs. We are working to ensure that we:
- understand the risks from assets below condition
- complete all , or where practicable, mitigation is in place as we approach winter
Based on the current information about asset condition and repair programmes, we do not expect to reach the 98% national target this year.
Assets that are below the required condition means work is required. It does not mean it has structurally failed or that performance in a flood would be compromised. If the performance of an asset is reduced, we will take action, where practicable, to manage the flood risk effectively until the asset is fully repaired or replaced.

Due to the effect of COVID-19 most of our areas have been unable to report any kilometres (km) enhanced this quarter. COVID-19 has also affected the ability of our partners (water companies and the third sector) to provide us with data on their contribution to the number of enhanced kilometres.
Usually in quarter one we see the highest number of enhanced kilometres reported. The low number reported this quarter indicates the unprecedented circumstances of the pandemic. But, this is a reporting anomaly. The projects to enhance kilometres of the water environment will have been completed. We therefore expect the number to increase in future quarters as we include reports of completed projects in the running total.
During quarter one of 2020/21 we and our partners reported 31km of enhancements to the water environment. This brings the total to 6774 km since we published the updated river basin management plans in 2015.
We also protected 69 km of the water environment from deterioration. We did this by:
- taking steps to control the aggressively invasive Floating Pennywort along tributaries of the River Witham in Lincolnshire
- improving environmental protections through permit reviews in the East Midlands

Performance for quarter one is 97.6%. The target is 97% and therefore the year-end forecast is green. There were 11 applications which were not determined in line with our advice. Three of these were for ‘major’ development. In all but one case our objections related to flood risk issues. Six of these were where the developer had not demonstrated that the development was safe from flooding and would not increase flood risk elsewhere. We objected to one planning application on biodiversity and pollution control grounds. The developer had not provided enough information for us to assess:
- the effects on an adjacent Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
- whether the use of non-mains foul drainage would adversely effect the water environment or not
The applications determined contrary to advice will, if built, result in 8 residential units at risk of flooding. In contrast, by working with developers and local planning authorities (LPAs) we have resolved significant environmental issues. If we had not resolved these issues, 68 planning applications with the potential to create 7000 new residential units would have been refused. These residential developments, once built, will help contribute over £100 million to UK economic output.

In quarter one, the total number of high risk active sites is 250. The target is 233 so the year-end forecast is amber.
In quarter one the total number of all active illegal waste sites, including those that are high risk, has reduced by 68. At 604 we have the lowest number of active sites since quarter four in 2016/17. The number of active sites over 2 years old has gone up slightly to 164.
The majority of Environment Agency area teams have seen little change in the number of active sites since quarter four of last year. They’ve recorded fewer sites than the previous quarter or have increased numbers by only one or 2 sites.
COVID-19 has effected both the reporting of illegal activity and the way in which we substantiate new incident reports. During quarter 2 we will look to undertake risk based field work and this is likely to increase active site figures.

At the end of quarter one, we are at 71% of the quarter one profiled target and 18% against the total target for the year.
This year we are aiming for an ambitious 8% annual reduction versus last year, to a total of 28,720 tonnes.
Due to the pandemic the majority of our offices have remained shut (except for incident response) since the start of the lockdown on 23 March 2020. As a result, we have seen a 37% reduction in emissions from offices and labs compared to quarter one last year.
We are discussing this with colleagues in Facilities Management to help understand the office emissions.
Emissions from business travel have declined by 52% compared to quarter one last year, saving roughly 1,178 tonnes so far. Emissions from operational activities have reduced by 37% (1,430 tonnes) compared to quarter one last year. Some parts of the country are now in prolonged dry weather conditions and more areas are preparing for the same conditions. Our largest water resources pumps at the Ely-Ouse Transfer Scheme started to operate in April 2020, however the emissions remain significantly (62%) lower (1,500 tonnes) than quarter one last year.

We invested £313 million in quarter one of 2020/21. This is higher than the amount invested at the same point last year. The proportion of full year budget invested (18%) is a little lower than in the quarter one of 2019/20. This reflects the higher overall budget for this year following significant additional FCRM funding announced in the Spring budget. This additional budget includes funds to repair and improve assets damaged in severe flooding last autumn and winter.
Our Finance department is working closely with directors to complete the allocation of budgets to business units, including the additional funding. We are supporting our staff to manage their programmes of work to ensure they keep to their budgets by the year end.

In quarter one the proportion of BAME employees in the Environment Agency remained 4.4%. Since the Environment Agency’s executive directors team approved investment in 2019/20 for equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and network resilience, there has been some advancement. While BAME representation has increased by only 1.5% over 12 years, over a third of this was over the last 2 years. Our target remains 14%. Quarter one saw 9 new BAME recruits out of 93 starters, amounting to 9.7% of all external recruits. In quarter one, 91 employees left the Environment Agency. Five of these were BAME employees which is 5% of the total. This year we are prioritising a system for exit interviews to help understand why people leave and improve retention.

The percentage of female executive managers (EMs) is slightly ahead of the target of 43% at quarter 4 2019/20. The number of female EMs rose to 40 out of a total of 92 EMs. The percentage of female grade 7 employees has decreased slightly to 32% (164). This percentage has changed little over the last 6 quarters
We continue to work on a new equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) toolkit and review our university focused outreach work. We have developed more inclusive recruitment with a diverse range of staff supporting assessments. In 2020/21 we are prioritising work around our culture and race. We will support this by developing a plan to improve EDI in the Environment Agency.

We define lost time incidents as work related injuries resulting in a day or more lost time. The year-end target is 0.11 injuries per 100,000 hours worked. Using such a conservative definition and a low target creates a very challenging aspiration for our overall health safety and wellbeing (HSW) performance. The fact that we are usually close to the target indicates that everything we do to manage and improve our HSW is reducing the numbers of significant injuries to our people.
The further reduction in quarter one is heavily influenced by the significant reduction in some activities during the COVID-19 lockdown. As a result, we cannot properly infer anything from the result in terms of what it indicates for our overall HSW performance. We will re-evaluate our performance once we have quarter 2 data, with re-start enabling us to undertake more work activities.
