Introduction

Our task is to implement state policies on environmental use, nature conservation and radiation safety and to monitor the fulfilment of the laws and norms established for the protection of the natural environment. We are also involved in the development and updating of legal acts and other official documents regulating the environmental field.

The Environmental Board is a client-focussed, values-based organisation whose task is to take into account and strike a balance between the interests of nature and those of the many and various stakeholders in society. We are a knowledge-based organisation whose biggest asset is the smart, professional people who work for us. Our core values are reliability, a caring approach, effectiveness and willingness to cooperate.

• The areas we operate in are wide-ranging: from issuing fishing and waste management permits to placing natural assets under protection, and from publishing environmental fees to offering environmental education programmes. In total, we offer 65 public services. Our clients include individuals, companies and local authorities, and we provide a lot of public services for the benefit of the state and society in the broadest sense.
• We allow our staff to work as close to home as possible and, if needed, remotely. We have been working from home with great success, keeping in touch with one another via our e-channels every day. Conveniently, the majority of the services we offer are available online.
