Forward Plan documents

The ESO has had an evaluative incentive scheme since April 2018. During the period from 2018-21, the ESO (in consultation with its stakeholders) published a Forward Plan to set out its activities for each financial year. These Forward Plans were shaped by stakeholder consultation.

The ESO’s incentive reports for the 2018-21 period set out our progress against the activities set out in the Forward Plan.
