Sse

SSE, headquartered in GB, is involved in the distribution and trade services of electricity. In 2025, SSE reported total emissions of approximately 10.24 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of about 5.2 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 500 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 4.5 billion kg CO2e. Key Scope 3 categories were investments (1.6 billion kg CO2e), use of sold products (1.95 billion kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (850 million kg CO2e).

Looking back, SSE's total emissions in 2024 were approximately 9.27 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 4.3 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 500 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 4.5 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, total emissions stood at roughly 11.33 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 6 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 at around 400 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 4.8 billion kg CO2e.

SSE has set ambitious climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims to achieve net zero for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040 and for remaining Scope 3 emissions by 2050. Specifically, SSE commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 72.5% by 2030 from a 2017/18 base year. The company also targets an 80% reduction in the carbon intensity of Scope 1 GHG emissions by 2030, compared to 2017/18 levels, aiming for 61gCO2e/kWh. Additionally, SSE plans to reduce absolute GHG emissions from the use of sold products (a Scope 3 category) by 50% by 2034 from a 2017/18 base year. These targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
