SOSE received a bronze award from The Carbon Literacy Project, in recognition of its work to promote carbon literacy amongst its 140-strong staff and board members. They have undertaken carbon literacy training.
And it’s now aiming for a coveted Silver Award, which is currently held by less than 30 organisations across the UK.
Chief executive Jane Morrison-Ross, above, said: “SOSE is committed to driving a Just Transition to Net Zero across the South of Scotland.
“An essential step on that journey is building our knowledge and capacity to tackle the climate and nature crisis, which is why SOSE being named a Carbon Literate Organisation is so important to us.
“This training will help us identify solutions and opportunities for our businesses, social enterprises and communities, including the renewable energy and natural capital advantages we have in the South which we believe can attract significant inward investment.
“This in turn will improve our service and will help us amplify the voice of the South of Scotland as a Net Zero leader in Scotland, and across the UK.”
