Our Annual Sustainability Report

Last Friday SSEN Transmission published its Annual Sustainability Report which provided comprehensive detail on our progress in fulfilling our sustainability commitments throughout the financial year from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. Our Senior Sustainability Analyst, Abigail Hughes, shares further details on the report. 

Since I joined SSEN Transmission in 2021, I have been immersed in an exciting sustainability journey. Over this time, our sustainability approach has played a pivotal role to support our efforts to create a lasting, positive legacy for our environment, our people and our communities.

Leading the publication of our Annual Sustainability Report for the year 2022/23 has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. This report marks the second year of delivering under our RIIO-T2 Business Plan, "a Network for Net Zero" and our Sustainability Action Plan.

Throughout this year, I have engaged and collaborated with a diverse range of stakeholders and, collectively, we have scrutinised our sustainability performance and identified numerous opportunities to enhance our sustainability reporting. Right now, as a sustainability professional, I recognise the significance of working in this field and in a career whereby you can contribute to meaningful and impactful work. I firmly believe that the work we undertake is driving us towards a brighter future and this report sheds light on our sustainability progress transparently.

At SSEN Transmission, we're deeply committed to demonstrating leadership, taking meaningful action, and working together – values that shine through on our ‘Year in highlights’ pages at the beginning of the report.

But we're not stopping here. Our people continue to work hard to execute our Sustainability Action Plan, ensuring that we deliver on our sustainability outcomes across our six strategic ambition areas.

I encourage you to take a moment to read our Annual Sustainability Report. Your feedback is valuable to and I invite you to reach out to me personally at Abigail.Hughes@sse.com with any thoughts or insights you would like to share.
