At SSE Energy Solutions, we strive to leave a positive impact on the communities in which we work. One of the ways that we do this is by challenging inequality through inclusive recruitment and inspiring low-carbon career education. Our Social Value team powers change by working with transition schemes and education centres across the UK to help educate and encourage young people to make the move into low carbon work. Becoming a trusted community partner through investing in local people is a key pillar in our strategy, as the impact we have on the local community is just as important as delivering net zero.

At Ever Plan, we believe policy should reflect the real needs and priorities of communities. By integrating Indigenous knowledge and community-led perspectives, we’re working to develop policies that not only support sustainable growth but also respect cultural values. Together, we can build frameworks that are inclusive, resilient, and community-centered ✊🏽. #PolicyDevelopment #CommunityFirst #IndigenousPlanning #EverPlan

Panel Spotlight 📢 Join us for a transformative discussion on the intersection of renewable energy and environmental justice, with a focus on advancing critical objectives of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).   This panel will explore how renewable energy initiatives can be designed, led, and implemented to ensure that marginalized and underserved communities—especially those disproportionately impacted by environmental and economic disparities—are prioritized in the nation's clean energy transition. We will highlight the importance of uplifting BIPOC leadership and fostering meaningful community engagement in initiatives that address key national goals, such as energy resilience, wraparound social interventions, workforce development, and equitable access to clean energy. Together, we’ll examine strategies and discuss how companies and organizations can and have supported these initiatives through thoughtful program design, strong partnerships with BIPOC-led groups, and sustainable, equitable funding strategies. We will accept registrations on-site: https://lnkd.in/ehND_Hs

How bottom-up and top-down governance of community energy initiatives affects citizens’ perceptions, acceptability, and willingness to join Community energy initiatives (CEIs) can potentially foster a #sustainable #energy #transition. Yet, few citizens participate in them. This paper examines how CEI governance influences their appeal. 👇
