Leadership - NGO's & Third Sectors


The Challenge

For Non-Governmental Organisations and the Third Sector generally, showing leadership in sustainability is often about challenging government, business and the public to go well beyond their comfort zones.

As advocates, members of the Third Sector must be consistent in their own behaviour with the causes they fight and the values they promote. The multi-dimensional nature of sustainability can mean that Third Sector organisations are confronting areas outside of their expertise which are increasingly seen to have relevance to core concerns and activities.

In facing these challenges the Third Sector has two advantages:
  • It has consistently set the bench mark for many of the areas which sustainability addresses
  • It works to a far longer time frame than business, recognising that an investment today may reap ever-growing rewards.
