Nature on the Board
Founded by Faith In Nature, Nature on the Board is a move to implement the Rights of Nature within organisations, recognising Nature as the major stakeholder it so clearly is. It’s about creating a more equitable system that helps protect and preserve the natural world of which we’re all a part.
Better Business Network was the first Manchester-based organisation (and only third in the world) to appoint a nature representative to their board. In 2025, GMAST member Future Everything became the first cultural organisation in the world to appoint a nature representative to their board. We would recommend getting in contact with either of these leading organisations for advice on implementing Nature on the board.

Environmental Board Champions
The Board Environmental Champions Programme is a free, self-paced training designed for trustees and Board members of Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) and Investment Principle Support Organisations (IPSOs). It supports boards to embed environmental responsibility at governance level, strengthen their sustainability strategies, reduce impact, and lead by example across the sector.
