The ESG Playbook for Charities provides a practical guide to help charities in Singapore integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their operations. With the growing emphasis on sustainability, this playbook outlines key stages for charities to enhance their governance, drive impactful initiatives, and communicate their ESG performance. The guide is tailored to the unique needs and challenges of the charity sector, offering step-by-step strategies to help organisations align with national sustainability goals, like the Singapore Green Plan 2030, and global targets such as the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The playbook breaks down the ESG journey into four stages:
- Integrating ESG into board agendas
- Defining a tailored ESG strategy
- Driving initiatives that reflect ESG priorities
- Communicating progress to stakeholders
It highlights how embracing ESG can help charities attract new funding, retain talent, improve operational efficiency, and build stronger trust with donors and the wider community. With insights on ESG maturity, the guide encourages charities to evaluate their current position and take actionable steps toward long-term sustainability and social impact.
