Our 2030 goals
The SSE Group has set four fundamental goals for 2030 focused on addressing the challenge of climate change and supporting the transition to a net zero future in the UK and Ireland.
These goals, which are linked to the UN’s global goals for sustainable development (the SDGs), put environmental, economic, and social sustainability at the heart of our business strategy.
In SSE Thermal, we’ll help deliver on these goals by reducing the carbon intensity of our energy generation, complementing the growth of renewables with flexible thermal assets, and championing the Just Transition.
This will help us achieve our vision of becoming the leading provider of flexible thermal energy in a net zero world.
Playing our part
In SSE Thermal, we’re committed to being a good neighbour in the communities in which we develop, construct and operate our sites. We aim to support local communities and local supply chains, develop and encourage the next generation of energy workers, and protect and enhance our local environments. Our Generating Growth report sets out what SSE Thermal has been doing to make a difference through our projects and operations, and the value we place on creating a positive lasting legacy for communities across the UK and Ireland.

SSE Sustainability Report 2020Zero tolerance of modern slavery
SSE has zero tolerance of modern slavery in all its different forms both in its business and its supply chain. SSE has produced a Modern Slavery Statement and takes steps to ensure that modern slavery is not present in its supply chain. SSE undertakes a risk assessment of the goods and services it procures and seeks to mitigate any risks identified through training its procurement and commercial managers and gathering greater information from high-risk supply partners.
