Plaza’s Charity News Alert reports that the Charity Commission would look kindly on charities striving to reduce their environmental impacts even if this is not specifically stated in their objects, according to their legal adviser at the Commission’s recent discussion event on environmental responsibility.
Emma Knuckey said that “Although there are legal constraints we would encourage flexibility and innovation” and pointed to examples of religious charities as stakeholders in a God-created environment. http://www.plazapublishing.co.uk/enviromental.html.
