  • Our vision

    Our long-term goals for a rich, healthy and diverse environment for present and future generations.

  • What we do

    We are responsible for protecting and improving the environment of England and Wales. We also have responsibility for protecting communities from the risk of flooding and managing water resources.

  • Working in the Welsh language

    Since we have responsibilities for the environment across England and Wales, we have to be able to provide our services in Welsh as well as English. Find out about our Welsh language scheme.

  • Diversity

    At the Environment Agency, we are committed to promoting diversity and equality in all our policies, practices and procedures and to valuing the diversity or our workforce and the customers and communities we deal with.
