We produced a report that considered the history, ecosystem, taxonomy and market size of the responsible investing landscape in Scotland. The motivation behind this work was to raise awareness and support the growth of the responsible investing market in Scotland. In partnership with the Centre for Responsible Banking & Finance, University of St Andrews School of Management, we conducted research and delivered a report that examined asset managers and owners actively engaged in responsible investing, identified Scottish-based investment funds that are managed ethically, and compared results from Scotland to Ireland and the UK to provide context.
The report has directly influenced Scottish Government policy with data included in the “Investing with Purpose: Global Capital Investment Plan” launched in March 2021.
