About Us

Our Mission

Highland Renewables is a forward-thinking network of businesses committed to harnessing the Highlands’ abundant natural resources to deliver renewable energy projects and strategically important sustainable development initiatives.

 

Driven by a shared ambition and vision, we support the business-led community effort for the Highlands to become a global leader in sustainable development, aligned with both local and national government policies.

 

Through these initiatives, we not only contribute to global climate goals and Scotland’s net zero ambitions, but also promote strategic investment in local communities, environmental stewardship and infrastructure.

 

Our aim is to leave a lasting legacy that benefits the Highlands for generations to come.

Pledge Your Support

We are calling on developers, business and community leaders, policymakers, public agencies, and community organisations to unite under a shared strategy. Together, we can build a resilient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible Highlands.

Highland CIC will host events and engagement opportunities throughout the year. These will provide spaces for dialogue, partnership, and innovation, ensuring that everyone with an interest in the region’s future has a voice and a seat at the table.

We invite everyone with a stake in the Highlands future to pledge support by getting in touch to learn about the many initiatives and events we have planned for the remainder of this year and beyond:
