Board Meetings

ESG Gaming will be led by an Executive Chair and non-executive board, made up of directors who are independent of the igaming sector. Our initial board will have up to four members, of which 50% will have Lived-Experience of gambling or gaming harms. Remaining members will have relevant third sector, corporate or Ofsted experience. The board will be predominantly externally focused and lead on strategy whilst providing support and scrutiny to the executive team who will execute the ESG Gaming strategy.

In addition an independent treasurer will also be appointed and they will chair a Finance, Audit and Risk (FARC) sub-committee of the board who will have designated responsibility. The FARC will be predominantly internally focused and lead on risk, business process, audit and governance. The FARC will also lead on our relationship with our accountants, Crowe UK LLP. We anticipate recruiting for a treasurer in 2023.

As funding is secured, a small honorarium of up to £1,000 pcm will be paid to non-executive directors to recognise the expertise, support and insight they will provide. Our Executive Chair’s annual salary will be available to view the Public Record within our Statutory Accounts and CIC34 Report held by Companies House. Their salary, along with honorarium payments made to non-executive directors will be published on this website annually. ESG Gaming will also ensure our Statutory Accounts are published with a detailed Income and Expenditure report, so you will be able to read exactly the spend across our organisation. In 2021/22, our Executive Chair earned an annual salary of £900.00 and our non-executive directors gave their time voluntary.

ESG Gaming intend to go above and beyond of what is expected by the CIC Regulator when it comes to financial and impact reporting. For example, it is our plan to pivot towards digital fundraising and having a digital leger on the Blockchain in 2023/24. This will bring about a revolutionary, secure and transparent way to show income for ESG Gaming and where every penny donated is being spent. Imagine if the taxes we pay could be tracked publicly and transparently, so we can see exactly what each penny we pay in tax is being spent on. We’d know, for example, if we are contributing directly to a nurses or teacher’s salary; if we are contributing to the building of a new hospital or if we are contributing to the UKs Armed Forces. We’d be able to track our tax payments transparently; that is our vision for ESG Gaming. This technology would also enable ESG Gaming to join the large growing list of other not-for-profit organisations who are now accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs and other Cryptocurrency donations.
