Sse

SSE's commitment to climate action is demonstrated through ambitious emissions reduction targets and a focus on sustainable operations within the electricity distribution and trade services sector. For the reporting year 2025, SSE reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 10.24 billion kg CO2e. This figure is composed of approximately 5.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions, about 500 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions, and approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. Key contributors to their Scope 3 emissions include investments, the use of sold products, and fuel and energy-related activities.

SSE has established clear targets to mitigate its climate impact. Notably, the company aims to achieve net zero emissions for its Scope 1 and 2 operations by 2040, with a long-term ambition for net zero across all remaining Scope 3 emissions by 2050. For the near term, SSE is working towards reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 72.5% by 2030, against a 2017/18 baseline. Furthermore, SSE is committed to reducing the carbon intensity of its Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030, referencing a 2017/18 baseline. The company also has an SBTi-approved target to reduce the carbon intensity of electricity generated by 50% by 2030 compared to 2018 levels.
