Draft circular economy strategy: Fairer Scotland Duty summary

Summary of assessment findings

This FSDA has identified that no positive or negative impacts will result directly from the publication of the Strategy.

However, it has helped to highlight areas where there may potentially be impacts on certain protected characteristics following the development of interventions related to the Strategy priorities.

These impacts should be considered closely during their respective design, development and implementation – and be subject to their own FSDA where appropriate.

This interim Fairer Scotland Duty Assessment will be updated following a public consultation prior to being published alongside the final Strategy.

It will be supplemented by additional FSDAs where required carried out during the development of any interventions related to the Strategy priorities.
