Scotland must strive harder to build cross-sectoral collaboration and partnership between major corporates, government, and the public sector, to help the vital SME business community play its part in the transition to a net-zero carbon economy, the Scottish Business Insider/ Bank of Scotland round table heard.
Kenny Kemp introduced the panel members setting the key question: ‘What can Scotland’s business sector do to drive forward and build on COP26 momentum?’, before Darren Flynn made some introductory remarks.
“Where we feel we can make a genuine difference is in assisting the acceleration of the transition to a low carbon society and post COP26, if we didn’t know this already, financial services in Scotland has a really important role to play. What we want to try and do at Bank of Scotland is try and help our clients as much as possible,” said Flynn.
