Insights into SSE's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, SSE has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.a
Does SSE have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, SSE has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.a
SSE's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 80% by 2030, compared to a baseline of 0 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) per Watt-hour (Wh) of Electricity Produced in 2018.a
As of 2025, SSE is lagging behind on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 36.24% of the planned reduction.a
SSE's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does SSE have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, SSE has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
SSE's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2034, compared to a baseline of 2,532,467.532 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2018.a
As of 2025, SSE is on track to meet its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 46% of the planned reduction.a
