Doing business responsibly

We don’t seek to maximise profitability in any one year but to maintain and develop a sustainable business that serves customers, employs people and pays dividends over the long term.

SSE at a glance

SSE contractors out on the job.

Our core purpose is to provide the energy people need in a reliable and sustainable way; and our strategy is to deliver sustained real growth in the dividend.

Generating electricity from diverse sources

We generate electricity from gas and coal and renewable sources like wind and hydro. This gives us the greatest diversity in fuels for generating electricity among UK generators and the biggest portfolio of renewable energy.

Generation

Wind turbines next to lake.

We are the UK's second largest generation business, with a total capacity of just over 11,300MW.

Working to reduce carbon dioxide emissions

We believe the energy industry will be radically re-shaped as carbon dioxide emissions are reduced and fossil fuels become scarcer and our low carbon transition is well under way.

Generation

Hydro electric dam at Pitlochry

We are the UK's second largest generation business, with a total capacity of just over 11,300MW.

  • Governance and the role of the Board

    We continue to commit to the highest standards of corporate governance and have due regard to continuing developments in this field. Our Corporate Governance statement explains our approach to corporate governance in detail by describing:

    • the SSE team;
    • risk management and internal control;
    • how the Board works; and
    • setting out the work of each of the four Board Committees - Audit, Nomination, Safety, Health and Environment and Remuneration.

    We believe corporate governance is the best way to to ensure SSE is a consistently successful, well-run and responsible business, capable of delivering increases in the dividend payable to shareholders in the short, medium and long term.
