The Environmental Policy explains how we intend to improve the quality of life in the East Riding by ensuring that local communities are healthy, thriving, prosperous, safe and environmentally sustainable. Each year, we produce an Environmental Statement to report our progress against the objectives in the Environmental Policy.
The current Environmental Policy, which was last reviewed in June 2020, draws together all strands of environmental work across the council to guide our organisation towards continuous environmental improvement. It covers work areas including climate change, the natural environment, the built environment, and sustainable resource management.
