What NGOs and community organisations are being asked

Each question says who asks it and why now, and links to the service that answers it.

01

Funders

Can you show measurable ESG performance and transparent governance?

Funders now ask for measurable ESG metrics in an organisation’s own operations. SIM’s Social pillar includes Community, its Governance pillar covers ethics, compliance and disclosure, and the framework is aligned with the SDGs.

02

Funders and partners

What is the footprint of your operations and events?

A carbon inventory covers what you burn, the electricity you buy and travel across your value chain, documented so it can be checked. Events can be reported on separately.

03

Insurers, lenders and corporate partners

Nothing is compulsory. Should you report anyway?

Institutions with no mandate are already being asked by insurers, lenders and corporate clients. A voluntary report builds credibility with banks, buyers and staff, on your own timetable.

How the evidence is built

Every rating we publish follows the same rules, whatever the sector.

  1. Unanswered questions score as unanswered, never as assumed.
  2. Policies, bills, registers, certificates and permits are reviewed, then checked on site: walkthrough, systems, waste and effluent, interviews.
  3. Every number has a trail: an evidence index with the rating, and a methodology annexure with every formula, factor and source.
