We recognise the important role we has in managing the impact of our day-to-day operations on the environment and in promoting the principles of sustainability in all of our activities.
Our new strategy sets out how BGS will help its stakeholders make more effective decisions to better manage the economy, the environment and society.
The BGS is a data-rich organisation. Our data science and data infrastructure are fundamental to our future research and underpin our strategic challenges.
