Sustainability

SSE's vision is to be a leading energy provider in a low-carbon world

To achieve this, its strategy is to create value for shareholders and society from developing, owning and operating energy and related infrastructure and services in a sustainable way.

We have set four fundamental goals for 2030 which put sustainability at heart of SSE’s business strategy. These goals aren’t just important to SSE, they matter to everyone – that’s why they are directly linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

1. Cut carbon intensity by 80%
2. Increase renewable energy output fivefold
3. Enable low-carbon generation and demand
4. Champion a fair and just energy transition
