About working with business

Today's business world has a growing and far-reaching impact upon the natural world, so much so that its role in finding solutions to the planet's pressing environmental challenges is more important than ever.
WWF works in partnership with organisations such as HSBC and Lafarge to address global threats to the environment including climate change, pollution and the over-use of non-renewable resources.

Our constructive engagement with business and industry enables us to develop partnerships, raise funds for nature and the environment, stimulate innovation in business and challenge bad practice.

But when necessary, our dealings with the business world are also acute and challenging. For example, WWF is a member of the CORE coalition of NGOs, which presses for changes to company law that would make major UK companies more transparent and accountable to their stakeholders. The coalition's work is now being emulated across Europe, the US and elsewhere.

Our mission
As part of the international WWF network, WWF-UK addresses global threats to people and nature such as climate change, the peril to endangered species and habitats, and the unsustainable consumption of the worlds natural resources. We do this by influencing how governments, businesses and people think, learn and act in relation to the world around us, and by working with local communities to improve their livelihoods and the environment upon which we all depend.

WWF uses its practical experience, knowledge and credibility to create long-term solutions for the planet's environment.
