LGBTQ+ Community at SSE

We believe in creating a work culture where everyone feels that they belong. Our aim is to promote and develop a diverse and inclusive culture for LGBTQI+ colleagues so that they can feel confident to bring their whole self to work and be the best they can be.

Andrew Ross, Chartered Accountant

"I am a Chartered Accountant and joined SSE in June 2020 as a Finance Manager. I work in the Renewables business but I’ve been delighted to be co-lead of the LGBTQ+ community since it launched in September last year. I’ve done work on the belonging agenda at other employers and it’s great to bring that experience and continue that work at SSE.”

“The group was set up in September 2020 to give a space for LGBTQ+ people in SSE and allies to come together and get to know each other. Since then we’ve seen steady membership growth and now have almost 100 members. We had particularly high engagement during LGBT history month where we worked with comms colleagues to make the group much more visible in the wider business. We’ve also had a successful Pride Month which has seen a real outpouring and collaboration from colleagues across the business to mark this important time.” 

SSE Pride Logo

Working with digital marketing colleagues, we managed to agree that SSE would update its logo for Pride Month across all online platforms, a first for the company. The sense of belonging that gave to people who work here - that SSE would make such a public commitment to LGBTQ+ people was fantastic. We also had an amazing reaction from colleagues and others and it really feels like we’re driving positive change.
