Introduction to the Scottish Landfill Credit Fund Forum
The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund Forum (SLCFF) is intended to bring together private and public sector organisations in Scotland with an interest in developing and enhancing best practice principles in the use of landfill tax credits in Scotland, and influence the strategic direction in the future.
In 1998 it was decided to establish the Scottish Landfill Credit Fund Forum to integrate those organisations and individuals in Scotland with a professional and/or policy interest in landfill tax. An appropriate constitution for the Forum has been prepared for adoption by members. A copy can be downloaded here.
CONSTITUTION
(revised January 2002)
"Encourage and promote the most effective use and strategic development of landfill tax credits in Scotland through the knowledge and skills of environmental bodies and businesses operating in Scotland; and to thereby positively contribute both to the future growth of the Scottish economy and the quality of life of people, communities and the environment".
The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund Forum is a non-profit making group set up to maximise the benefits of the Landfill Communities Fund.
Our objectives are:
· To maximise the benefits, outcomes and impacts of the Landfill Communities Fund.
· To promote Government objectives for the Landfill Communities Fund.
· To promote best practice amongst all who have an interest in the Fund.
· To firmly establish the forum as the principal representative and development organisation for the Landfill Communities Fund in Scotland with a wide membership of people, companies, organisations with an interest in the sector.
· To promote sustainability in accordance with the National Waste Strategy.
· To be a focus of consultation on the direction of the Landfill Tax and relevant legislation.
These are in support of ENTRUST's objectives. For further information on ENTRUST objectives please contact information@entrust.org.uk or go to click here
The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund is a non-profit distribution body, and profits made or interest earned by The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund Forum will only be for the furtherance of the aims and objectives as set out above.
The work of The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund Forum will not be to the benefit of individual site operators who may contribute to the Forum and receive a credit of landfill tax under the scheme. Neither will any work be promoted or carried out which is already required to be completed under existing planning requirements or other statutory legislation.
The Scottish Landfill Communities Fund Forum will maintain separately audited accounts and keep full records that shall identify the use of all the environmental body's monies.
