Details

Annual reports on the Environment Agency’s regulation work. The reports provide information and statistics about the:

  • emissions to air from the businesses we regulate
  • number of serious pollution incidents and sectors responsible
  • compliance of businesses with their environmental permits
  • reduction in costs for businesses we regulate
  • enforcement action we take when businesses do not comply

The Environment Agency applies the regulatory framework set by government. We work with businesses to make sure they operate in a way that avoids harming people or the environment, without imposing unnecessary administrative burdens on them.
