ACEVO Sustainability Challenge
Posted on Tuesday, January 26, 2010
In early 2009 the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations (ACEVO) published ‘The Sustainability Challenge: implications for chief executives in the third sector’.
The document advocated strongly that sustainability needed to be taken seriously by the third sector, setting out nine reasons why and highlighting the role of the chief executive in leading the required change.
Since then third sector organisations (TSOs) have come under increasing financial pressure as the implications of the financial crisis have hit home. Threatened with a squeeze in public spending in 2010 and beyond, you could be forgiven for thinking that sustainability is ‘nice to have’, something for the good times as well as something that can be put on the back burner when times are hard.
The purpose of this second guide, The Sustainability Challenge: Implementing Change that Doesn’t Cost the Earth is to dispel this idea, showing through interviews and case studies with those involved that addressing sustainability can be a critical strategy in developing strong and effective TSOs and a vibrant sector.
