The 2011 Members’ workshop focused on NGOs’ Environmental Performance and took place on 20 -21 October, 2011 in Brussels. The workshop offered an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences on implementing environmental aspects in programmes and discuss the current GRI reporting requirements on environmental issues. 17 participants attended the workshop and the evaluation showed that the 17% of participants found the overall workshop “very useful” and 83% “extremely useful”.
On 20-21 October 2011, 17 representatives of organisations that are Members or potential
members of the INGO Accountability Charter attended a workshop on NGOs Environmental
Performance. This was the second workshop that the Charter organised for its Members and
the aim was to offer an opportunity to exchange experience and challenges on environmental performance management.
In the introductory session Janet Dalziell (Greenpeace International and Charter Board
Member) highlighted that exchange of experience and benchmarking is at the core of the
Charter and that there is huge potential in learning from each other’s mistakes and
successes. In the following session participants discussed expectations placed on NGOs
with regards to environmental accountability. These range from measures on individual
organisations to improve environmental performance to improving the carbon footprint or
environmental standards for the entire sector.
