Our annual updates
We publish a yearly update setting out the progress we have made in improving the environment through our 25 Year Environment Plan Annual Progress Reports and more recently through our Environmental Improvement Plan Annual Progress Reports. These reports should be read alongside the annual updates to the Outcome Indicator Framework.

From 2023 onwards, annual updates to the Outcome Indicator Framework will no longer be published as PDF reports, but the latest annual update will be available via this website. We have chosen to publish the annual updates solely in this way to improve accessibility and to allow us to develop additional opportunities for users to interact with our data in bespoke ways.
