Environmental Defense Fund UK Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2022
The Trustees statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 September 2022 which are also 2006 purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019).
No
not the United States, not Europe, not the global business community, certainly not Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) alone. Nevertheless, by working in partnership with many others, we can make a difference.
As we expand our platform in Europe, we will continue to investigate and assess what needs to be done to meet the most pressing challenges that cross national boundaries. We will remain alert and flexible, responding to new scientific discoveries, technological innovations and social trends and pursuing important opportunities as they arise.
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the Charity are for the public benefit to promote:
-
The advancement of the conservation, protection, and improvement of the physical and natural environment.
-
The advancement of the education of the public with reference to the conservation, protection, and improvement of the physical and natural environment. The promotion of sustainable development by:
-
The preservation, conservation, and the protection of the environment and the prudent use of resources.
-
The promotion of sustainable means of achieving economic growth and regeneration.
-
Sustainable development means
-
.
The Charity Trustees consider that they have complied with their duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The European Union, in a flurry of climate communications and legislation over the last two years has committed in law to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% in 2030 compared to 1990 levels. This also includes a newly agreed overhaul of the European carbon market. This plan now needs to be implemented, but there are still gaps between the goal and the plan of action.
Europe has prided itself on leading action on climate change this century. But its leadership has stumbled a little of late. In the face of conflicting priorities of the pandemic and geopolitics, recent decisions and pronouncements have looked less certain and provided less direction to business and industry.
To help deliver solutions on the scale of these problems, EDFUK will reach out to new audiences, unlock additional resources, and deploy both tried and tested tools and innovative approaches, adding further diversity to the European environmental movement.
Hallmarks of EDFUK

Charting a Course for EDFUK
EDF has a track record of over 50 years, in the US of using economics, science, and partnerships its overall effectiveness, EDF the UK to the broader European continent, with a growing and diverse staff to implement that shift. We continue collaborate with politicians, policy makers, businesses, and academia to hasten the transition to a carbon free economy, develop and implement ambitious environmental policies across Europe, and share learnings from Europe to other parts of the globe.
By developing a significant presence in Brussels, , and raising our profile as a global organisation, we will ensure that we can disseminate the best science and economics to achieve cohesive solutions that are effective locally, regionally, and globally.

Goals
Energy
Accelerated adoption of clean energy in all sectors has reduced carbon emissions and contributed to improvements in air quality, while allowing for strong growth in the economy.
Measuring methane emissions
Measured methane emissions from global oil and gas infrastructure to help identify emissions mitigation opportunities within Europe.
Reducing methane emissions
European countries and companies make strong commitments to reduce methane emissions, consistent with achieving a 45% global reduction by 2025.
Climate
Europe meets its commitments under the Paris Agreement, pledging to cut emissions by at least 55% by 2030 (from a 1990 baseline).
Hydrogen deployment
The development of policies across Europe on hydrogen deployment with full consideration of the potential for hydrogen leakage, which as potent greenhouse gases can exacerbate detrimental effects on the climate.

Achievements and performance
Bringing science to Europe s hydrogen debate
Accelerating a transition to clean energy in the EU is key to addressing the current energy crisis as well as the climate emergency. Green hydrogen is an important part of this transition. The European Commission has stated that clean, renewable hydrogen will be essential to replace natural gas, coal and oil, especially in hard-to-decarbonise industries and transport. The EU has stated its intention to produce 10 million tonnes of hydrogen from renewable sources and import another 10 million tonnes by 2030.
2022 Achievements
-
has confirmed in bilateral
-
meetings that two EDF UK events in 2021 were successful in first putting the issue of hydrogen leakage on their radar.
-
As a result of our ongoing advocacy efforts, the EU s research and innovation funding program Horizon Europe will include a budget line for climate impacts of hydrogen leakage in the 2023 work program.
-
EDFUK has been invited to raise the flags of concern and the potential of hydrogen as speakers/presenters at events with Chatham House, Reuters and the TED Dilemmas. EDFUK has successfully applied for membership in the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance.
-
EDFUK has briefed over 20 organizations from civil society and beyond on hydrogen leakage.
Shaping methane regulations
Methane emissions represent about 12% of overall GHG emissions in the EU. 53% of anthropogenic methane emissions come from agriculture, 26% from waste and 19% from energy. Although energy methane emissions only represent a small amount of the overall EU GHG emissions (less than 2%), it is the area where emissions can be reduced quickly at low or no costs. Moreover, the EU is the largest importer of gas in the world: if its legislation also applies to imported fossil fuels, this will have an impact far across its borders.
Over the past two years we have worked across the EU institutions and EU member states to shape an essential methane regulation. As we head towards a final text, we have worked in close collaboration with the European Commission, European Parliament, EU member states, UN Environmental Program as well as representatives from the oil and gas industry to uphold the legislation high level of ambition. Our seat at the table gives us a unique opportunity to put forward solutions that increase the level of ambition and address concerns raised by various stakeholders.
2022 Achievements
-
EDFUK has engaged the EU Council (representatives of the governments of the 27 countries of the EU) as it began negotiations on the proposed EU methane regulation in early 2022 to ensure that lobbying form the oil and gas industry is not successful in dilute the text of the regulation.
-
Through direct advocacy and high-level events such as EU Methane Week and EU Sustainable Energy Week we have engaged with key Members of the European
7
Parliament (the legislative body with 705 elected representatives) and the European Commission (the EU's executive branch), providing clear science-based and technical explanations to help inform their decision making.
-
EDFUK in-country advocacy has rapidly advanced, with activities now ongoing in Poland, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. Media coverage in leading national outlets has also supported our effort to build in influence.
-
Through our strategic collaboration with Climate Action Network Europe (CAN) we have also expanded our advocacy reach to Bulgaria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
Enhancing our approach to EU Transport
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's GHG emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities. The transport sector has not seen the same gradual decline in emissions as other sectors: emissions only started to decrease in 2007 and remain higher than in 1990. Within this sector, road transport is by far the biggest emitter accounting for 72% of all GHG emissions
By 2030, EDFUK's goal is to lock in policies and investment necessary for shipping, aviation, lorries, buses, and passenger cars to achieve their net zero targets by 2050 while achieving preliminary GHG reductions form these transport modes by at least 5% from global 2020 le
2022 Achievements
-
EDFUK worked with POLIS, a network of European cities and regions working together on innovative technologies and policies for local transport, to develop the Sustainable Urban Freight project which set out to help cities and regions build strategies to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions from heavy duty vehicles. EDFUK chose to support three "instant projects" out of scores of applicants. The winners in Denmark, Italy and Greece received a small amount of funding and some expert support for their projects which were then networked and workshopped. An online course was also produced to reach even more interested parties. We hope to continue this work subject to funding, with a larger number of cities. 2022 has been a pivotal year for EU policy on maritime transport, with important Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) extension to shipping, and

-
EDFUK shipping is feasible and a constructive step towards a global measure at the International Maritime Organisation.
-
On Fuel EU Maritime, EDFUK spearheaded the call for a zero-carbon fuel mandate, and for direct use of renewable power on board ships. We did so by leveraging our partnerships with other NGOs and key industry associations like Global Maritime Forum te in
-
October, a compromise to include a 2030 zero-carbon fuel mandate was successful whereas the proposal to enhance the reward of onboard renewable power on ships, though ultimately unsuccessful, gathered the most votes of all plenary amendments. EDFUK has also established a place for itself in the wider European dialogue to shape decarbonisation going forward. We took part in panel events organised by key

industry players, such as World Shipping Council in Brussels and Maersk McKinney

institutions and honed an effective communications approach that makes use of video and social media, to deliver our main messages to policy makers in a joint campaign with Transport & Environment, a well-established transport NGO in Europe.
Development and Operations
EDFUK continues to establish itself as an environmental non-profit that brings a unique sciencebased perspective to the major policy debates shaping the future of the European Union. As we deepen our engagement and impact on the continent, we are augmenting our organizational capacity with an influx of staff that reflects the diversity of the policies and politics we hope to shape.
As part of the transformation to an authentically global organisation, EDFUK has undergone a remarkable evolution over the last two years, with its board more European in composition and the team developing from a largely UK-focused team of British and American nationals to a truly pan-European team of experts drawn from across the European continent. The EDFUK team now has staff from 16 countries including Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam. The EDFUK team at the heart of the EU in Brussels has also grown exponentially which will be reflected by the opening of new expanded office space in 2023.
Financial review
Expenditure
EDFUK irect expenditure for the year ended 30 September 2022 totalled £5,789k ( 2021: £4,002k ). Of the total expenditure, £5,632k was considered unrestricted ( 2021: £3,298k ) and £158k was subject to donor restrictions ( 2021: £704k ). Stichting ED s direct expenditure was £3,011k ( 2021: £371k ) The expenditure covered charitable activities and operational costs.
Income
EDFUK receives funding and support from several generous private individuals and foundations. The remainder of our activity is funded through a grant from EDF. We maintain a restrictive government and corporate donations policy that ensures our objectivity, aligns with our commitment to non-partisanship, and allows EDFUK to make its work freely available to ensure its widest possible adoption.
EDFUK received total income of £5,851k ( 2021: £4,064k) for the year ended 30 September 2022. This included £5,694k of unrestricted funds ( 2021: £ 3,310 k ) and £158k of funds that were subject to a restriction on usage ( 2021: £754k).
9
EDFUK ended FY2022 with £62k surplus financial result compared to a £62k surplus a year earlier.
Total funds at the end of FY2022 are £721k ( 2021: £659k). All net assets held were considered unrestricted.
Conduit funding
During the year, EDFUK received funding on behalf of EDF totalling £27k. These funds were passed directly to EDF at the request of the donor and are not included in the results of EDFUK.
Reserves policy
Reserves are typically required to bridge the gap between spending and receiving income, and/or to cover. The Trustees believe the ideal level of Reserves is three months of Operating Expense which is £2,000k ( 2021: £727k ). The reserves level has been reviewed in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, global inflation, and other relevant factors, and the Trustees assess that the required level of reserves remains appropriate despite this external event. The total unrestricted funds as of 30 September 2022 amounted to £721k ( 2021: £659k). This includes fixed assets with a Net Book Value (NBV) of £78k ( 2021: £51k) that are not available for general purposes at the yearend, leaving free reserves at the year-end of £644k ( 2021: £608k). The Trustees believe that the current level of reserves is sufficiently close to target so as not to require specific action. This will however be reviewed annually as the organisation continues to grow.
As at the date of signing these financial statem charitable company will be able to maintain liquidity for a period of at least one year following the date of signing these financial statements and will therefore be able to continue to operate as a going concern. The Trustees therefore consider that no material uncertainty exists that could
Looking to the future
Many experts think that the immediate energy crisis will soften in the coming year and prices in Europe will decrease but the need for increased resilience has been visibly demonstrated in the last two years and the need to rapidly transition from fossil fuels has never been more apparent.
In additional to continued work on work areas for 2023, we have a number of new staff taking forward work on the following subjects:
Advancing climate smart agriculture. The EU has several policies that aim to address agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, including methane. However, there is currently no EUwide emission reduction target specifically for agriculture. New policy reforms are needed to ensure the EU reduces methane emissions enough to meet its share of the Global Methane Pledge. To raise government ambition and advance methane solutions, EDFUK commissioned a gap assessment focusing on the agriculture sector in the EU and in selected member states.
Findings from this report will also help identify potential strategies and inform action to reduce livestock methane emissions at both the EU and member state-levels.

Driving corporate disclosure and influencing investors.
investor insights and reports for several key sectors, EDFUK continues to engage actively in agriculture. In addition, we have applied to join Platform on Sustainable Finance (to influence future taxonomy). These groups bring together sectoral expertise from industry, finance and CSOs to support the development of mandatory EU sector specific ESG disclosures.
Reducing energy demand in Eastern Europe. There is a sense of war time urgency around the 40% of all gas consumed in the EU. Energy demand reduction through efficiency measures is critical for reducing consumer costs, lowering fuel imports, and lowering emissions. Each member state has very different challenges around energy use and energy demand reduction, and we are looking at the poorest states to see how we can make a difference for the most disadvantaged.
Scoping has begun in Romania for our planned work on energy demand reduction, where we are building an ecosystem of Romanian local partners, stakeholders, and community groups to help drive transformative solutions. Results of current scoping activities will help us design and roll demand at scale. We are also seeking to build on this work in other Eastern European countries, including Bulgaria and Poland.
Fundraising
EDFUK seek to raise funds from individuals, foundations and relevant Government grant making programmes. EDFUK and Stichting EDF Europe receives donations raised by EDF for our work in Europe and direct support received from European sources. Fundraising activities in Europe are closely coordinated between EDF and EDFUK and Stichting EDF Europe.
We carry out our fundraising in-house, do not currently employ professional fundraising service providers, and do not manage small-scale donations from individuals. EDFUK does not hold or manage a list of contact details for residents in Europe, donating to EDFUK. We have received no complaints. fundraising activity is currently not operating at a level where EDFUK considers it necessary to agree to any voluntary standards. Should it increase, EDFUK will ensure we adopt leading practices and sign up to and meet the appropriate standards.
EDFUK have received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities. Our terms of employment require staff to always behave reasonably; it is not currently necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities. When fundraising from individuals in Europe is facilitated in Europe via a dedicated communications channel such as the new website, we will establish the necessary procedures and guidelines to manage that activity.

Structure governance and management
Governing document
EDFUK is a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act 2006 and incorporated in England and Wales. EDF, a New York not-for-profit organisation is the sole member of the Charity. The liability of the Member is limited to £1, being the amount that the Member undertakes to contribute to the assets of EDFUK in the event of its being wound up while it is the Member or within one year after it ceases to be the Member. In addition to the foregoing, EDF has entered into an agreement with EDFUK to pay operating expenses that EDFUK is unable to pay during the period from October 2022 through March 2024.
Decisions of EDFUK Trustees, who act independently from EDF. EDF may suggest areas of work for consideration by the EDFUK Trustees; however, work in these suggested areas will be undertaken only if the Trustees of the Charity decide that it will Program and geographic leaders work collaboratively to identify and maximise opportunities for transformative environmental impact.
Stichting Environmental Defense Fund Europe is a charitable foundation, registered in the Netherlands (Chamber of Commerce registration no. 72607440) and a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in the Netherlands (Fiscal identity company no. 859171814). EDFUK consolidates the results of the Stichting on the basis that it has the ability to govern financial and operating policies. The mission of the Stichting follows that of EDF UK and its ultimate parent organisation, EDF. Summary results for Stichting EDF Europe are included in the notes to the financial statements.
The workforce remuneration and key management personnel salaries are reviewed against market pay data. We are also in the process of devising a remuneration policy to ensure workforce pay is within the appropriate market benchmark, parameters, and criteria against the UK charity and not for profit sector.
Appointment of Trustees
The Memorandum and Articles of Association of EDFUK require that the Charity have at least four trustees, two of whom must be independent trustees. EDF as the sole member, appoints Trustees for such term as the sole member specifies.
Trustees of EDFUK have been, and prospective Trustees will continue to be, chosen with their knowledge of the European region in mind. In due course, as the Charity gains experience and develops its own organisational capacity, it is anticipated that the Charity's staff and trustees will increasingly propose areas of focus and activities to be carried out by EDFUK and will liaise with EDF to ensure such activities coordinate with EDF
EDF and EDFUK work together towards the achievement of common goals and currently share a common Board Chair, which helps to provide co-ordination and consistency.
12
EDFUK is seeking to expand Board membership to include representatives from a wider spectrum of European countries and a greater range of skills, experience, and influence.
Trustee induction and training
New EDFUK Trustees are voted on by a majority vote of the Board. Upon their approval, new Trustees are provided a Trustee handbook and organisational orientation. The orientation includes meetings with the Board chair, EDFUK Executive Director, and other members of the organis
and programme teams. The goal of the orientation is to give new trustees the opportunity to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the organisation s mission, vision, and operations.
Organisation
An Executive Director is appointed by the Trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of both EDFUK and Stichting Environmental Defense Fund Europe by implementing the policy and strategy adopted by and within a budget approved by the Trustees. The Trustees provide the manager with a description of his or her role and the extent of his or her authority; and any manager must report regularly to the Trustees on the activities undertaken in managing EDFUK and provide them regularly with management accounts, which are sufficient to explain the financial position of the Charity.
Risk management
The Trustees of EDFUK receive regularly updated risk assessments which cover the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity face, including financial, operational, and reputational, presented in the form of a risk register that also summarises implementation of policies, processes, or procedures to minimise or manage the potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees review the risk register at each Board meeting and consider any further steps which may be necessary to manage new as well as previously identified risks. The Trustees consider the most serious risks to which the charity is exposed at present to be:
-
Strategic aim of European expansion: the Trustees have identified a risk that the strategic aim of European expansion will be delayed due to the need to develop and implement strong operational processes and policies. To mitigate this risk, we are building our internal capability with the hire of senior operational roles in the Netherlands and Belgium. This will be supplemented by expert external support, as required.
-
Developing robust business processes: It is critical that the aims of growth and expansion are supported by a strong and comprehensive foundation of controls and processes. In addition to boosting our capacity and capability through recruitment, we are also investing in systems and technology.
13
- Reputational risk. reputation and credibility are key to our success in successfully advocating for change. To mitigate against the risk to our reputation we regularly carry-out media monitoring in Europe and the US and at programme levels to help monitor this risk and regularly review our publications and social media outputs.
Statement of Trus
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the group and charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the charity and the industry in which it operates, we identified that the principle laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements to be relevant are the Charities Act in the UK, Companies Act 2006, UK GAAP, FRS 102 Charities SORP and tax legislation. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, the charitable company is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: employment law, health and safety legislation, and data protection. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of Those Charged with Governance and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence if any.
either as a result of fraud or error. We also considered financial performance and key drivers for any performance targets. We also considered the risks of non-compliance with other requirements imposed by the Charity Commission and we considered to extent to which non compliance might have a material effect of the financial statements.
We have made enquiries of management, and the Board, including:
-
How they have identified, evaluated, and complied with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance.
-
Their process for detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud.
-
Which internal controls have been established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of
-
the financial statements (including revenue recognition and the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial results and management bias in accounting estimates.
-
Identifying and testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, with particular focus on unusual account combinations and postings by unexpected users or senior management.
-
Challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management for key estimates.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
