Phoenix Group has become a member of a new Taskforce that has been set up by the Global Ethical Finance Initiative, Scottish Government and Scottish Financial Enterprise to develop Scotland’s position as a global centre of excellence for green and sustainable finance. The Taskforce will bring together industry leaders and will report to Scotland’s Financial Services Growth and Development Board.
Commenting, James Wilde, Chief Sustainability Officer, Phoenix Group, said: “It’s vital we all respond to the challenges discussed at COP26 and we’re looking forward to being part of the new Scottish Taskforce for Green and Sustainable Financial Services. Working together, we have the potential to establish Scotland as a globally recognised centre for green and sustainable finance that is providing leadership in implementing the goals of Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, aligning investment to net zero.”
