Talent gap in Scotland’s ethical investment sector hits the headlines thanks to professional services PR
When two leading figures in Scotland’s financial sector warned that the country was missing an opportunity to lead the world in the field of ethical investment, our professional service PR got to work on the perfect story.
Core-Asset Consulting’s Betsy Williamson, and Trillium Asset Management’s, Jamie Mariani, have suggested that Scotland is missing its chance to be a leading country in socially responsible investment (SRI), an investing strategy that aims to generate positive social change and excludes investments that are deemed to be harmful to the planet.
The demand for ethically driven investment is on the rise, with listings for ESG (environmental social governance) analysts in Scotland increasing significantly. However, the pair suggested that Scotland’s academic institutions have failed to keep up with this trend, creating a shortage of candidates. In addition, they also suggest that lack of regulation around SRI in Scotland is not creating the necessary framework for to become a leading country in the field.
Our professional services PR team got to work on a press release, generating fantastic results:
- 16 Items of coverage online, across social media, and in print publications
- 483,234 opportunities to see across National, Regional, and Business media titles
- Key Features in; The Scotsman, Scottish Business News, TALiNT International, and Scottish Financial Review
The team reached out to Core Asset’s Managing Director, Betsy Williamson to discuss the shortage of candidates coming through to cover ESG roles and how Scotland’s educational institutions need to catch up to close this talent gap.
We also spoke with Jamie Mariani, who works with Trillium Asset Management, to gain insight in to how introducing legislation surrounding SRI could provide the legal framework required to set up principles that investors would sign up to and uphold.
Our experts drafted a press release and issued it to key media titles, creating an abundance of media coverage across national, regional, and business publications.
This coverage was of great value to Core-Asset as it helped to establish its vital expertise in the Scottish finance sector as well as attracting a huge audience of potential new business.
