SSE: Redefining the role of sustainability and strategy

This case study has been created from the Finance for the Future Awards. This entry was a finalist in the ‘Communicating integrated thinking’ category. The entry was also awarded a climate leadership award.

SSE is an energy company in the UK and Ireland that has set four 2030 goals that put sustainability at the heart of business strategy. These goals will be measured quantitatively and qualitatively and are supported by business targets. SSE has also tied executive remuneration to progress against these 2030 goals.

‘SSE accepts the responsibility of its sector in decarbonising the economy. It has placed the Global Goals at the centre of its strategy. This is integrated across the business with clear targets linked to remuneration and it has raised ESG-linked finance to support the achievement of its goals.’
