2024 Report: Charity Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG)Survey

The UK’s First Charity ESG Survey (in partnership with ACEVO) found that while the sector is keen to engage, organisations are prioritising Social and Governance Over Environmental issues.

 Key Findings: 

  1. Most organisations (67%) did not yet have a ESG strategy, and very few had a holistic, fully integrated strategy (3%)
  2. Almost half (42%) of participating organisations were ‘considering developing’ an ESG strategy, indicating that they are engaged with ESG as a concept, but had not yet defined what it meant for their organisation
  3. The most significant gap between importance and progress ratings across the whole survey was in the area of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). While 99% of organisations said that embedding EDI across their organisation was either ‘very important’ (82%) or ‘important’ (17%), over half (56%) rated their progress in this area as still at the ‘starting out’ or ‘developing’ stage
  4. The good news was that nearly three-quarters (74%) of organisations were paying the Real Living Wage, but a significant minority (26%) were not able to do this
  5. Progress on Environmental issues is lagging behind Social and Governance in all cases Only 10% rated themselves as ‘advancing’ or ‘advanced’ in monitoring and taking steps to address the negative environmental impact (real or potential) of their activities and services.
