Understanding ESG for Not-For-Profit and Public Sector Organisations
Environmental, social and governance initiatives, widely known as ESG, have made a huge impact in the corporate world, and ESG has immense implications for not-for-profit organisations (NFPOs) and public sector organisations (PSOs) as well.
While corporations have been putting in place ESG policies and practices for some time, NFPOs and PSOs have not been as quick to embrace these initiatives within their own operations. According to CAPTRUST’S 2020 Endowment & Foundation Survey, 97% of not-for-profits don’t have ESG, impact or mission-aligned investing in their investment portfolios.
