Our responsible business culture With ever increasing scrutiny on corporate conduct, stakeholders rightly expect SSE to demonstrate how it is embedding a responsible business culture and ensuring no harm arises as a result of its activities. That is why SSE’s 2030 Goals are built on a foundation of doing no harm to people or planet. For SSE, this goes beyond complying with legal requirements – it is about doing the right thing to keep people safe, ensure their wellbeing, and make sure people feel they can speak up when wrongdoing occurs. As SSE employees we support and value our colleagues and enjoy working together in an open and honest way.
SSE’s just transition SSE has published its Just Transition strategy which aims to help to protect workers and communities as the UK and Ireland transition out of a high-carbon world and towards net zero. The strategy consists of SSE’s 20 principles for a Just Transition, which outline SSE’s approach to address the social implications of delivering net zero; from jobs and training, to working with communities and ensuring no one is left behind.
