10.00	Welcome and introductions
10.05	ESG insights and lessons from self-assessments What are charities actually doing on ESG? Drawing on insights from charity self-assessments, we’ll explore common strengths, gaps and challenges, as well as some of the practical lessons emerging across the sector.
10.30	Step one: Baseline – assessing where you are now Before developing an ESG plan, it’s important to understand your starting point. We’ll look at how to assess your current approach, identify what you already have in place and highlight areas where further work may be needed.   Step two: Materiality – what’s important for you ESG means different things to different charities. We’ll explore how to identify the environmental, social and governance issues that are most relevant and significant to your organisation, helping you focus your time and resources where they can have the greatest impact.
