The challenge
What charities & non-profit are facing
Funder requirements are multiplying
National Lottery, Esmee Fairbairn, Garfield Weston — major funders are adding sustainability reporting to grant conditions. It's not optional anymore for organisations that depend on grant funding.
Limited internal resource
Charities exist to deliver their mission, not to do carbon accounting. The person responsible for sustainability reporting is usually someone in finance or operations who already has a full workload.
Diverse operations
Offices, charity shops, warehouses, events, outreach vehicles — charities often have surprisingly diverse operational footprints spread across many small sites.
Trustee and public accountability
Trustees need clear, accessible environmental data for annual reports. Donors and beneficiaries increasingly expect charities to practise what they preach on environmental responsibility.
35% of major UK funders now include sustainability reporting in their grant conditions. Starting to measure now protects future funding.

Common questions
Charities & Non-Profit carbon reporting FAQ
If your charity meets the SECR size thresholds (250+ employees, £36m+ turnover, £18m+ balance sheet), yes. Many large national charities qualify. Even if you don't, voluntary reporting is increasingly expected by funders and donors.
Climatise offers pricing that reflects non-profit budgets. The cost of the platform is typically a fraction of what a consultancy would charge for a one-off carbon footprint, and you get continuous tracking rather than a point-in-time snapshot.
Energy bills for your main sites, fuel card data if you have vehicles, and a rough idea of your travel and procurement spend. Most charities can get a meaningful footprint from data they already have — you don't need perfect data to start.
