Every business sector (including yours) has its own set of environmental regulations that companies within that sector have to stick to. It can be a bit of a minefield making sense of all this legislation, but help is at hand.

The Water Environment (Controlled Activities) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 – also known as ‘CAR’ – are the basis of a stringent regime of water environment protection in Scotland. ‘A stringent regime?’ we hear you cry. ‘Sounds positively terrifying!’ But don’t worry. As always, we’re here to help our customers.

'Environmental issues are top of our agenda at Torness. We recognised that outsourcing a noncore function to industry experts was the best solution. With Business Stream involved from conception to ongoing delivery both British Energy and SEPA are confident that we will continue to comply with our regulations.'

George Hall, Senior Chemist, British Energy Group plc
