This is the eleventh annual report on the efficiency and sustainability of the Scottish Civil Estate and has been produced in accordance with the provisions of the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009, which can be viewed in Appendix 1 of this report.

Scottish Ministers are required to lay before the Scottish Parliament a report containing an assessment of the progress made during the year towards improving the efficiency and the contribution to sustainability of buildings that are part of the civil estate in Scotland.

A second obligation is to report on the number of properties acquired by Scottish Ministers within the financial year that do not fall within the top quartile of energy performance.

To manage the effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic and in alignment with advice to the country as a whole, Scottish Government enabled as many staff as possible to work from home with effect from 23 March 2020. Nonetheless further progress on making sustainable improvements to the estate has been made and will be highlighted.
