Case Study: SSE plc advances sustainability strategy with Action Sustainability

SSE Advances Several Areas with Sustainability Strategy

Action Sustainability provided support to SSE plc to advance its comprehensive sustainability strategy across multiple areas. The energy company required assistance in embedding sustainability throughout its procurement function, developing climate training for employees and its supply chain, and improving the measurement and delivery of its social value outcomes.

The solution involved a multi-faceted approach, including bespoke Climate Academy training sessions that engaged thousands of SSE colleagues and suppliers, a sustainable procurement assessment against the ISO 20400 standard, and strategic work to integrate social value into procurement processes. Action Sustainability also implemented its award-winning Sustainability Tool to provide a real-time reporting framework. This enabled SSE to aggregate data, meet stringent OFGEM reporting criteria, and make data-driven decisions to manage its sustainability performance across its entire supply chain and operations.
