Responsible decision making

Rob Williamson, chief executive of the Community Foundation serving Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, and James Garbutt, investment director at Rathbones, agree that consultation, evaluation, and collaboration form the bedrock of robust and defensible policy setting that makes decision-making easier, saving time and achieving buy-in from key stakeholders across areas include responsible investing and gift acceptance. 

In this month’s episode, Rob and James join Samantha Pritchard and Alison Jones of Muckle LLP to discuss the role charities' senior leaders play in responsible decision-making. 

James' support of the Community Foundation and its approach to responsible investment opens up a conversation around what charity leaders can think about to ensure their key policies reflect their stakeholders’ range of perspectives, achieve buy-in across the board, staff and communities a charity serves and can evolve as the context a charity operates in changes.
