ESG in Action

We are delighted to present our first environmental, social and governance (ESG) statement – marking the latest step in our journey towards a greener and brighter future for all at Camphill Village Trust.

We see ESG as a way to tell our story, share our impact and also be open and transparent about how we manage risks and remain resilient for the next 70 years.

In reality, we have always been on this journey – sustainability is a key part of our heritage. Our mission is at the intersection of ESG values – unlocking the connection between people and planet, and forging an inextricable bond between wellbeing, health and nature. We are fully invested in the transformative power of nature to enhance the lives of those we support, and we’re excited to share how we’re making this vision a reality.
