Climate change, corporate governance and the loss of natural capital are some of the threats facing business today. By working together, we can achieve large-scale, long-lasting environmental, social and economic transformative change.

​WHY DO WE WORK WITH BUSINESS?

We live in a critical time in determining the future of business and our planet. WWF works to bring about the kind of change needed to achieve positive impact for people and nature.
 
We understand that challenges such as climate change, energy security and the loss of natural capital pose major risks to the sustainability of communities and business longevity and prosperity. Many companies have already made positive advances while others are yet to embark on this journey, unsure of where to start.
 
That’s where WWF can help. And it’s why we don’t only work with companies who are already doing good things but with any company wanting to shift their business. Sometimes, the biggest changes come about by just convening the right partners and creating constructive solutions together. At WWF we pride ourselves on always taking a solutions-driven approach.

​HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS GET INVOLVED?

We enter into partnerships with committed companies to inform and develop progressive strategies and approaches to tackle environmental risks linked to business risk. We work towards creating opportunities to engage customers and investors and for employees to play a role in contributing to positive change.
 
Together we work on understanding and assessing a company's double materiality, setting science-based targets for direct operations and supply chain through to ensuring businesses align with global initiatives such as the Paris Agreement, the Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Sustainable Development Goals. We work with businesses to mitigate this risk while protecting natural capital while enhancing a business's licence to operate in various communities. From the shop floor, through the boardroom, to the investors and stakeholders financing business  - we engage proactively at all levels to make a difference.

Your business can join WWF through our Business Network, a strategic partnership, or transformational partnership.
