COP26 in Glasgow had been throwing a spotlight on Scotland as a world-class location for inspiring green projects and companies towards net zero. The Germany-Scotland Forum on Responsible Green Growth covered top-level climate, trade and investment priorities, as well as Environmental Social Governance. Panels focused on sustainability, hydrogen and renewable energy, as well as a more technology-oriented discussion how data and digitalisation are empowering companies’ journey towards sustainability and process efficiency. As Whisky - Scotland’s most famous product - has been leading the way in reducing CO2 emissions, moving towards powering and heating distilleries through renewable sources and using organic ingredients and low carbon materials, a whisky and gin tasting highlighted products created in Scotland’s greenest distilleries. The Forum was hosted by the Scottish Government Hub and Scottish Development International (SDI) in Germany together with Offenburg University.
