Not sure a requirement to consult members on ESG preferences is a good idea in common-law jurisdictions. Doesn't it amount to trustees delegating THEIR decision-making duty to a survey? If the purpose of the trust is to provide financial benefits, common-law already dictates that fiduciaries ought to be making rational decisions that factor in ESG considerations that are relevant to financial risks and opportunities. Where reliable ESG information is available, they ignore it at their peril.
