Collaborations with business offer one of the most effective routes to finding sustainable solutions to environmental and social challenges.

WWF South Africa partners with strategic companies to improve the way products and services are produced, processed, used and consumed for the environment’s benefit. These partnerships play a pivotal role in influencing the course of conservation.
 
Humanity is using nearly 1.5 planets. Under this “business-as-usual” scenario, by 2050 people are predicted to use twice as much natural resources as they are right now. Many companies rely on natural resources and their operations often significantly impact the environment. But, they also have a crucial role to play in supporting conservation efforts and being part of the solution.
 
To save the only planet we have, a new economy must be created and driven by a new generation of business leaders.
 
By working with business, WWF looks to change behaviour and drive conservation results that would be impossible otherwise.
