Our Strategy and Enforcement Policy sets out how the OEP aims to protect and improve the environment, by holding government and other public authorities to account. It explains what we aim to achieve, and how we approach our work – including the values we uphold, and how we work with others.  We have recently consulted with stakeholders and revised the strategy we first set in 2022.

54 years later, Sen. Edmund Muskie's remarks on the inaugural Earth Day ring just as true as ever. To all the environmental stewards, researchers, advocates, agitators, and--of course!--#whistleblowers, THANK YOU! This is a long fight and we need you. Excerpted from Sen. Muskie's speech at the Philadelphia Earth Week Rally on April 22, 1970: "We should have learned by now that a whole nation must be a nation at peace with itself. We should have learned by now that we can have that peace only by assuring that all Americans have equal access to a healthy total environment. That can mean nothing less than equal access to good schools, to meaningful job opportunities, to adequate health services, and to decent and attractive housing. For the past ten years we have been groping toward the realization that the total environment is at stake. We have seen the destructiveness of poverty, and declared a war on it. We have seen the ravages of hunger, and declared war on it. We have seen the costs of crime, and declared a war on it. And now we have awakened to the pollution of our environment, and we have declared another war. We have fought too many losing battles in these wars to continue this piecemeal approach to creating a whole society. The only strategy that makes sense is a total strategy to protect the total environment. The only way to achieve that total strategy is through an Environmental Revolution--a commitment to a whole society."
