Sustainability Report 2023/2024

The SSE Renewables Sustainability Report discloses information on the most material economic, social and environmental impacts of SSE Renewables business activities over the reporting period of 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 unless otherwise indicated.

Our report includes information on key initiatives, including: information on progress against net zero ambitions and our biodiversity net gain targets, ongoing work to ensure a just and fair energy transition, as well as progress and performance against our key goals.

This report is complementary to the SSE plc sustainability report, which discloses additional information on behalf of the SSE plc group, of which SSE Renewables is a part.

SSE Renewables Sustainability Strategy

Our mission in SSE Renewables is to fight climate change and accelerate progress to net zero through the generation of renewable electricity. At the same time, we are committed to doing this in a sustainable way by generating positive impacts for people, nature and climate.

This means supporting good jobs and thriving communities in the places where we live and work; protecting, restoring and, when possible, enhancing ecosystems; reducing our own reliance on fossil fuels through our operations and supply chains; and minimising the creation and disposal of waste.

The SSE Renewables Sustainability Strategy is therefore focused on driving action against four pillars: Just Transition; Nature Positive; Net Zero; and Circularity. It is designed to make the most meaningful contribution to the SSE plc sustainability approach and our most material UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In this context, we play a critical role in delivering SSE plc’s targets to increase renewable energy output fivefold, which also contributes to cutting our carbon intensity by 80%, and championing a fair and just transition.
