“The future of the energy sector depends on collaboration, innovation, continuing to attract diverse talent and leveraging diverse perspectives. We are committed to advancing inclusion, recognising it as an ongoing focus that will drive our success as both an organisation and as a key contributor as we transition to a clean power system."

Our journey to inclusion
Our Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, 'in, on and up', aims to make lasting changes by bringing diversity into SSE, creating an environment where everyone wants to stay on at SSE, and providing equal opportunities to progress upwards in the business.
Inclusion and Diversity Report 2025
SSE annually publishes a comprehensive Inclusion and Diversity Report, providing detailed information on SSE’s Inclusion and Diversity Strategy, progress made, and key performance indicators. The document reveals detailed information on our workforce and how we are progressing against the current strategy of increasing diversity across business operations.
Our employee-led communities
Powering togetherness
When people come together around a shared interest, amazing things happen. Our employee-led communities create change and ensure all voices are heard.
Women in Power
Right now, there’s a gap in female talent in business leadership. Women are underrepresented in senior roles in just about every industry, particularly in the energy sector.
That’s why we’re working to create a culture where equality, fairness and diversity are not just intentions but actions. That means recognising that everyone has different needs and aspirations, and that there can be many changes in the course of a career.
Strengths-based apprenticeship recruitment
We recruit apprentices for their personal qualities and strengths, not exam results. Because we know skills can be taught. And because we believe everyone deserves the chance of a rewarding career.
