Equity, Diversity, Participation and Rights
We believe that building our know-how and making progress towards equity, diversity, participation and rights (EDPR) are critical for delivering our mission. Find out more about how we are embedding EDPR across our work.
Climate Commitment
Our strategy is to reduce and prevent poverty and trauma in Scotland. In recognising the risks of the climate emergency, and its disproportionate impact on those from low-income backgrounds and other disadvantaged groups, we know that we have a responsibility to act. As a funder and an investor, we must do what we can to address the climate emergency through our own actions and supporting those of our grant holders
Social Investment
The Robertson Trust is one of the largest independent charitable funders in Scotland. Today, the Trust remains the majority shareholder of the Edrington Group, one of Scotland’s largest private companies in the Scotch whisky industry.
