OUR VIDEO REVEALS HOW ESG DELIVERS ENHANCED GOVERNANCE AND REPUTATION!
Good governance is of huge importance to charities, schools, and other non-profit organisations, and everyone is having to address their sustainability credentials too. ESG Pro leads the way with an international reach, depth of experience, and incredible legal expertise too.
Our services are designed to support both small and large undertakings, and there’s always a pro bono aspect to our work—it’s part of our own social value delivery. From carbon reports such as SECR and ESOS to social value reporting and more, we help our clients develop meaningful Sustainability and ESG Reporting.
Typically, charities lack the back-office support teams to manage the process in-house, so our approach means we’re actually doing the work for you. Our consultants support you through every step, and they work offline as well, ensuring the process doesn’t become a time and resource drain.
EXPERIENCE FRESH THINKING
FOR CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS.
Reduce risk and improve governance with ESG reporting and sustainability solutions!
CARBON
REPORTING
Carbon footprint reports are mandatory, so why not affordable?
Charities face tough carbon reporting regulations such as SECR and ESOS; “must-haves”, but too complex to do in-house.
Our goal is to make the process self-funding, so you can concentrate on your core purpose. Our promise is simple: we guarantee to save you 20% or more on your carbon reporting costs. See our carbon brochure!
B CORP
CERTIFICATION
B Corp is perfect for commercial arms of charities.
If you want to cement your reputation, B Corp certification is perfect! It’s a prestigious global certification to convey your social responsibility, sustainability, and culture.
To become B Corp certified, a charity or other non-profit must pay attention to its management, people, and the environment. This, in turn, attracts supporters and volunteers! See our B Corp brochure!
GRI
CERTIFICATION
The foundation of solid charity and non-profit governance.
The Global Reporting Institute (GRI) ESG framework is the pinnacle of ensuring you are managing risk—and it’s ideal for charities.
ESG reporting enables everyone, including schools and public bodies, to document their processes, assess weaknesses, and implement a managed improvement programme. See our ESG brochure.
SOCIAL VALUE
REPORTING
Tap into our team of experts for support with all of those social value questions.
If you rely on public funds, social value is now required by the Procurement Act 2023. However, this does not need to be a huge cost: replace expensive software subscriptions with our in-house expertise.
Above all, discover how to leverage your social value reporting to better promote your organisation.

ESG reporting helps charities and non-profits demonstrate transparency, ethical governance, and measurable social and environmental impact. It builds donor and stakeholder confidence while supporting compliance with Charity Commission guidance and frameworks such as SECR, ESOS, and the Procurement Act 2023. ESG Pro simplifies this process with sector-specific frameworks that strengthen trust and funding outcomes.
Charities and non-profits often face complex environmental obligations such as SECR and ESOS reporting. ESG Pro provides expert-led carbon footprint assessments and net zero planning that identify efficiencies, reduce costs, and make sustainability self-funding. Our data-driven approach ensures compliance while improving energy performance and reducing emissions.
Certifications such as GRI and MSAT provide recognised credibility for demonstrating sustainability and ethical practices. ESG Pro is certified to GRI, EcoVadis Gold, and more, guiding organisations step by step through each framework to achieve lasting accreditation and enhance credibility with donors, regulators, and partners.
Yes. Many smaller non-profits lack the internal resources for detailed sustainability reporting. ESG Pro acts as an on-demand sustainability partner, offering fractional sustainability management and hands-on support with reporting, documentation, and audit readiness — freeing your team to focus on your mission
Good governance and transparency underpin funding success. ESG Pro equips trustees and leaders with the knowledge to integrate ESG into strategy, risk management, and board oversight. Our tailored policies and training help you demonstrate alignment with donor expectations, enhance reputation, and increase eligibility for grants and public sector funding.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. In the charity and non-profit sector, it refers to the frameworks and practices that help organisations manage their environmental footprint, promote ethical operations, and uphold transparency and accountability in governance.
Charities may be subject to reporting obligations such as Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR), the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), and the Procurement Act 2023. These regulations encourage transparency in energy use, emissions, and social value outcomes.
Regular ESG reporting demonstrates accountability, responsible stewardship of funds, and measurable impact. It helps build trust among donors, beneficiaries, and regulators while showcasing a commitment to sustainability and good governance.
Common challenges include limited administrative resources, complex reporting requirements, and difficulties quantifying social and environmental impact. Smaller teams may also struggle to align reporting with donor or grant expectations.
Charities can assess social value by tracking outcomes such as community benefits, employment opportunities, and environmental improvements. Alignment with the Procurement Act 2023 and standard metrics helps quantify and evidence social impact in funding applications and annual reports.
The Charity Commission oversees how charities are managed and ensures trustees act responsibly in line with legal and ethical standards. It expects boards to evaluate governance, manage risk, and report transparently on environmental and social matters. Integrating ESG principles helps charities meet these expectations by aligning good governance with accountability, sustainability, and public trust.
