Frlends of the Earth Charitsble Trust For the year ending 30 June 2023 Company Number: 01533942 Registered Charity Number. 281681 Co-Executive Directors, statement This has been another year of mounting evidence of the worsening environmental crisis that continues to shape our collective future. From the wildfires burning through Europe, to the news that 4,500 people died from heat-related causes in 2022. the most ever recorded in a single year. it is clearly imperative that we take action on climate now. Yet the glaring feality is. that despite the urgency, those in power have too often fallen short of their responsibilities. The government has sought to bring in authoritarian anti-protest legislation and back down on its Net Zero commitments. whilst failing to invest in renewables. Corporations have reaped eye-wateringly exorbitant profits on fuels whilst people at home suffered in poorly insulated homes, saddled with mammoth bills. The scale and complexity of the issues, and the media and political landscape, can feel overwhelming. It is crucial to remember that our collective efforts make a difference in holding those in power accountable and driving the chan8e we so desperately need. Within this context, the work of Friends of the Earth Charitable Trust is more important than ever. We are incredibly grateful to our supporters, donors and partners. including the People's Postcode Lottery and its players. and everyone in the movement alongside us. Without them we cannot continue to fight and to win for the climate. The Trust fultils its charitable purpose by f unding organisations and groups that enable us to make change and protect the environment, predominately Friends of the Earth Limited. Highlightingjust some of our funded achievernents this year. The United for Warm Homes campaign launched. This is a multi-year campaign, calling for urgent support for people dealing with sky-high energy bills, a new emergency pro8iamme to insulate our heat-leaking home& and an energy system powered by cheap and green renewables. Friends of the Earth Limited won a landmark victory at the start of the year, when the High Court ruled that the Net Zero Strategy is unlawful and ordered the government to revise its strategy. We have supported some fantastic interventions in England. Wales and Northern Ireland. From defeating the Ffos y Fran opencast coal mine in Cymru. to challenging oil drilling in Horse Hill. the proposed Whitehaven coal mine in Cumbria and the digging of huge gas stora8e caves under Larne Lough in Northern Ireland. The next year we will continue to ensure that fossil fuels have no place in our future, and ensure that the decarbonisation of heat prioritises those in fuel poverty. We will work to fund projects to help communities benefit from thriving nature in their local areas, and continue to raise awareness of the climate emer8ency and the urgency of the need for action.

Gifts and donations for the period totalled £7.7m, compared with £8.Om in the previous year., most of this reduction was in Individual Giving. Given all the adverse economic headwinds, the donations have held up reasonably under the circumstances. Legacy income totalled £1.8m,12021-22.' £1.Oml. Despite its unpredictability. our legacy income has shown an improving trend. in line with the beginnings of an expected and significant inter-generational wealth transfer in wider society. This provides a healthy Legacies pipeline of £3.7m which will be recognised as income in future year5. This demonstrates the long-term relationships supporters hold with us. and their desire to continue support for our mission in their name. We received £3m from People's Postcode Lottery {2021-22:£4.Om). The £l.Im reduction from the prior yearwas due to a one-off additional contribLrtion made in 2021-22.

Our forecasts for 2023-24 are based on ongoing economic uncertainty with the current context of high inf lation. We expect the cost-of-living crisis to negatively impact more of our donors than were financially affected by the covid-19 pandemic. The breadth of our supporter base does provide f inancial resilience as we proceed with caution into the next 12 months, closely monitoring donor numbers and responding to their needs with flexibility and compassion.

In 2021 we added £0.36m-. £0.15m for additional CRM costs and £0.21m for Special Projects. As these initiatives have started to come onstream the Trustees have agreed to de- designate £0.76m assigned to CRMISpecial Projects. In addition, £0.19m of the Income Generation Investment Fund was usedduringtheyear. The result ofall these movements was to bring the total carried forward in designated funds to £0.91m. Unrestricted reservesendedtheyearat£l.8m,an increaseof£O.25m comparedto2021- 22.. the de-designation of designated funds of £0.95m. was partly offset by the deficit in the year of £0.7m. The current reserves policy is to hold between two and four months of expenditure as free reserves, using any extra to invest in strategic initiatives which move the organisation forward. This means the charity needs to keep £0.8-1.6m in reserves. Actual reserves of £1.8m are just above the range.

Ahead of this, we provided a range of guidance and protocols to assist staff with the change. We are continuing to monitor how the new arrangements are working for staff through regular survey5 and intend to complete a wider review later this year to assess any additional support that can be provided for teams to ensure the arrangements work their best. Feedback has been generally very positive, and we are proud to beable to provide staff with a better workllif e balance to aid their wellbeing. Friends of the Earth offers flexible working hours and options for office, hybrid and homeworking through our Hybrid Working Policy. as our staff are our most important asset and we want to ensure our roles are accessible to all.

Having our staff based across the UK, both in regional offices and at home better reflects the communities we work with, and opens our roles up to a wider range of potential recruits. Employees, experiences are assessed through regular pulse surveys, which consider workloads, wellbeing. and views on issues such as management and learning and development.

Gender and ethnicity pay gaps In line with our strong commitrnent to workplace equality. diversity and inclusion, we produce and publish both our gender and ethnicity pay gaps, which we voluntarily disclose. Gender There has been a significant improvement in our median pay gap among full-time staff from 7.13% in favour of men last year down to 2.51% this year, while for part time staff it was 7.61% in favourof women lup from 0.88% in favour of women last yearl. Overall, the pay gap remains in favour of men by 1.55%, down slightly from 1.63% last year. Using the mean hourly rate for comparison, the pay gap for all staff was 4.55% in favour of men,comparedto 5.22% lastyear. Foractual pay received,thegapwas higherat7.56% in favour of men. down very slightly on 8.76% lastyear. For external comparison, Statista reports the average pay gap in 2022 at 15.3% in favour of men. Ethnicity For the second time, we're also reporting on our ethnicity pay gap. Our median ethnicity pay gapforall staff wasl.55% in favour of staff who identifyas white, substantially down from 7.8% last year: for full time staff the gap was 7.64% in favour of non-white staff la significant switch compared to 10.6% in favour of white staff last yearl and for part-time collea8ues it was 0.78% in favour of white staff, very slightly down from last year.

In terms of actual pay received,the ethnicity pay gap fell from 6.91% to 2.24%. External comparisons are difficult in terms of ethnicity pay gap reporting as it is as yet voluntary.

Governance structure, governance and management Friends of the Earth cornprises two separate legal entities operating under a regulated dual structure arrangement. Friends of the Earth Charitable Trust operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as a fundraising and grant-making charity. It is regulated by the Charity Commission and is registered with Companies House. During the year, it granted funds for charitable activities to Friends of the Earth Limited, a not-for-profit company with independent directors which undertakes campaigning and activism activity. The two entities share staff, certain resources and a brand, allowing both organisations to achieve their objectives in a cost-effective manner. The charity is governed by a board of Trustees who meet to determine the strategic direction of the charity. Trustee decisions are made by majority vote at quorate meetings or unanimous decisions without a meeting. The day-to-day implementation of the strategy and running of the charity is delegated to the Co-Executive Directors via a dele8ated authority framework. Trustees serve a three-year term that can be renewed twice. so that a maximum of nine years can be served. Trustees typically servetwo three-yearterms and arethe company directors and members alongside being Trustees. Trustee recruitment is guided by the overall composition and skills mix of the Board; vacancies are advertised, and a recruitment pack sent to all prospective candidates. All new Trustees receive a comprehensive induction and an induction pack containing all key governance documentation for the charity as well as copies of Charity Commission guidance including (not exclusively) CC3 "The Essential Trustee-. CC20 on charitable fundraising,the Charity Commission's trustee welcome pack.guidance on public benefit, guidance on charities connected with non-charities and CC9, guidance on charities and campaigning. Trustees are also provided with an introduction to the Charity Governance Code. Furthertraining is offered as appropriate on an ongoing basis. Duringthe period, all Trustees received updates on relevant legal and regulatory issues. The Board normally meets four times a year and has as its principal roles determining mission, policy and strategy and monitoring its own and grantee performance. Page20of47

Friends of the Earth Charltable Trust For the year ending 30 June 2023 Company Number. 01533942 Registered Charity Number: 281681 Independent Auditor's Report to the Members and Trustees of Friends of the Earth Charitable Trust Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Friends of the Earth Charitable Trustforthe period ended 30 June 2023, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In preparing the financial statements. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a 80ing concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related togoingconcern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Audltor's responsibilitles for theaudlt of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant re8ulations made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements asa wholearefreefrom material misstatement.whetherduetofraud orerror, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not aguarantee that an auditconducted in accordancewith ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from f raud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, includingfraud, and non-compliancewith laws and regulationsare setout below.

This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Page26 of47
Frlends of the Earth Charitable Trust For the year ending 30 June 2023 Company Number: 01533942 Registered Charity Number: 281681 Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risk5, including obtaining audit evidence suff icient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates. focusing on those laws and regulation5 that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The lawsand regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be f undamental to the charitable company s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were- General Data Protection Regulation IGDPRI, Anti-fraud, bribery and corruption legislation. Taxation legislation. Employment legislation. Auditing standards limit the required aLJdit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities. including f raud, to be within the timing of recognition of income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities. sample testing on the posting of journals. reviewing accountin8 estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and readin8 minutes of meetings of those char8ed with governance. Owin8 to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example. the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations lirregularitiesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the f inancial statements, the les5 likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit. there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventin8 non-.compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. Page 27 of 47
