Anderson Strathern nails green credentials to mast

Anderson Strathern will sponsor the Scottish Low Carbon Investment Conference to be held at Edinburgh International Conference Centre on 27 and 28 September.

The conference is part of a government backed initiative identifying and debating opportunities and challenges around major offshore and infrastructure projects. A range of highly respected speakers will participate, including Al Gore.

Bruce Farquhar, Head of Renewable Energy team at Anderson Strathern, is delighted to have the firm continue its sponsorship for this prestigious event which is testament to its support for the wider global transition to a low carbon economy. The firm's award winning work for The Crown Estate on the marine leasing rounds for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters and its role in advising on the sale of Artemis Intelligent Power to Mitsubishi are but a few of the recent innovative renewable energy projects, of national significance, in which the firm has played a key part.

Liz McAreavey, Director of Development at Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce comments: "Anderson Strathern's involvement in the Conference is great news. Through this sponsorship the firm is demonstrating real commitment to playing its part in securing a successful low carbon economy for Scotland, with all of the future benefits that will bring."
