Pledge 1

The Scottish National Investment Bank committed to publishing anonymised data relating to EDI metrics, including gender. The Bank worked towards this commitment by reviewing the data they already collect at key stages of the investment process and developing new legal agreements to collect and monitor data. Extended data collection is now embedded at 3 stages of their investment process, enabling them to gather and track activity, inform future activity, and publish this in their annual report.

The session enabled open discussion on challenges and opportunities for investees. Feedback was positive with an average score of 7.5/10.
