Demonstrated progress

Our statement demonstrates developments in undertaking risk assessments, which has enabled increased risk disclosure in the latest statement - enabling us to disclose key value chain risks, those most likely to be impacts, the human rights risks they face, and the mitigation measures SSE has in place. The launch of new due diligence actions demonstrates process, such as including human rights criteria in the SHE Specification. KPIs track progress overtime through risk platforms.
