The beginning of September saw the formal launch of the Third Sector Net Zero Strategy as part of the CEIS’ SE Policy and Practice Conference. Late last year, SENScot convened a Steering Group that included SCVO, CEIS, SCA, CRNS, Scottish Communities Finance, SES, DTA Scotland and Firstport. The Group consulted with their respective membership to help shape a draft Strategy that sets out 4 key ‘actions’ that would enable social enterprises in Scotland to play a leading role in delivering Scotland’s Net Zero transition by 2045. In shaping the Strategy, it became apparent that there was a lock of baseline data to demonstrate the sector’s existing impact – nor an awareness of the support measures required by the sector to meet the proposed targets. In response, SENScot and SCVO carried out a survey of members – with over 500 organisations participating – and have produced this Report with results and analysis.
