Customer information
SEPA aims to provide an efficient and integrated environmental
protection system for Scotland; a system that will both improve the
environment and help deliver the Scottish Government’s overall
purpose to ensure long-term sustainable economic
growth.
SEPA supports the principles of good regulation. We wish to be a
firm, fair and effective regulator, listening to businesses and the
public and continuously improving our services to make sure
that Scotland has the best environment, while also encouraging
economic growth.
The following sections of our website provide information and
links to online resources for our customers. The information
is categorised by industry sector. There is also a section for
members of the public, as well as a section for the
public sector organisations that we work closely with to protect
the environment.
Advice for every type

environmental guidance service that aims to help companies comply
with environmental law and give their business a competitive
advantage. As well contributing to the protection of Scotland’s
environment, good practice often leads to cost reductions,

avoiding fines:
