2024 Transparency Report
This year marks the eighth consecutive year Green 2.0 has presented data on demographic data of staff and equity practices at non-profit organizations (“NGOs”) and foundations in the environmental sector. Alarmingly, this year reports the first decline in staff of color at all levels of NGOs in the history of this report. While foundations saw marginal improvements, the glaring trend at NGOs reminds us that progress requires intentional and consistent effort to not just hire, but also retain, staff of color.

Equity and Paid Leave Practices:
Green 2.0 surveyed NGOs about their equity and inclusion policies and practices. Assessing the presence of these policies can offer additional insight into understanding staff demographic data, as these policies and practices represent steps to creating inclusive workplaces, increasing staff retention, and offering protections for people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people with disabilities within their workplace and the larger environmental sector.
Paid parental leave for caregivers and parents (birthing, non-birthing, and adoptive) is a cornerstone when it comes to staff retention. Participating NGOs reported that they provide ten weeks of paid parental leave on average, an increase of two weeks from 2023. The range of time for paid parental leave was from zero to 35 weeks.
