Working with business
Embracing business sustainability requires innovative support – and with our long and proven track record of expertise and experience, WWF is the perfect business adviser. We have the brand, the environmental insights, the political clout and the campaigning power to help companies pursue their sustainable agenda.
WWF helps businesses manage their environmental footprint while building sustainability into their brand, their customer and investor communications, and their engagement with government.
Our vision
WWF-UK sees a One Planet Future, in which business makes a restorative contribution to our natural world, supports the Earth’s adaptation to a changing climate and benefits human well-being. This in turn will help to build businesses that last.
Why we work with business
The business choices we make today will shape our opportunities far into the future. The decisions we make now could lock human society into wasteful use of energy and other resources beyond our lifetimes. Or they could begin to propel us and future generations towards a new way of more balanced living. We work with business to help align economic growth with conservation to serve the interests of business, society and the planet to reach a One Planet Future.
How we work with business
With our business partners, we challenge conventional business thinking and help develop new commercial opportunities through environmental leadership. We guide companies towards greater efficiencies in natural resource use and best practice in carbon management, and respond to growing consumer demand for environmentally sound products and services – all of which enhance business competitiveness.
Companies we work with
WWF works with a number of partners such as M&S, HSBC, Canon and MBNA Europe Bank in a wide range of relationships, from short-term tactical to long-term strategic partnerships. Find our more about these relationships.
Sectors we work in
We have identified a number of priority business sectors that offer the greatest opportunities for supporting our strategic aims around ‘changing the way we live’, ‘tackling climate change’ and ‘safeguarding the natural world’. Keeping at least 80% of all partnerships within these sectors will keep us on track with our priorities.
