Scots savers greener than rest of UK
New research to mark the start tomorrow of National Ethical Investment Week found that 55 per cent of Scots with savings and investments want green and ethical considerations to shape at least some of their investments. It compares with a UK figure of 45 per cent.
However, just 15 per cent of Scots, and 14 per cent of investors across the UK, already factor green and ethical concerns into their savings and investments.
