ESG in the Charity Sector - Where to Begin?

Introduction

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), is well established in the investment and corporate worlds and it is now on the rise in the charity sector too.

While it is unlikely that most charities will be required to comply with compulsory ESG reporting, there are many reasons why charities may choose to report on their ESG activities voluntarily.

This bite-sized webinar will give charities, their staff, and advisers an understanding of why ESG is important for charities, including what falls within ESG in a charity context, and the practical steps charities can take to begin thinking about, assessing, and reporting on their ESG activity.

• Why ESG is important for charities
