Meeting description: The purpose of the meeting was to discuss some of the ideas that are being shaped to help Scotland claim its status as 'the' global leader on climate change and to task the group with what is required to do this a concerted collaborative and transformative approach and to ask how this group will lead and make tangible. We were encouraging the Scottish Government to work with industry public bodies and the public towards making Scotland a carbon neutral economy. We were discussing this because we believe that it is in the long term interests of both Baillie Gifford and Scotland. In addition we feel carbon neutrality will help us to attract and retain talented people in Scotland if it is seen as a country that has progressive policies in this area.
