Net Zero Transition Plan
To bring our vision to life, we have published a comprehensive Net Zero Transition Plan to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across scope 1 and scope 2 by 2040, and remaining scope 3 emissions by 2050.
Our approach is backed by science-based targets aligned to a 1.5°C pathway.
SSE's commitment to a just transition to net zero
Our 2024 Just Transition Strategy builds upon our pioneering 2020 strategy, which was the first of its kind globally. The updated strategy maintains 20 key principles to ensure fairness in the transition to net zero, with only minor refinements to wording and definitions.
The strategy focuses on creating good green jobs, supporting communities, ensuring consumer fairness, and responsibly transitioning from high-carbon industries.
Our Just Transition Strategy is a bold commitment to ensuring that the benefits of decarbonisation are widely shared, while minimising potential negative impacts.
