Environmental Standards Scotland
Environmental Standards Scotland (ESS) is a public body set up to ensure the effectiveness of environmental law, and prevent enforcement gaps arising from the UK leaving the European Union.
We are here to independently monitor and investigate the effectiveness of environmental law in Scotland, and public authorities’ compliance with it.
