Working with business
Many companies rely on natural resources and their activities can have a significant impact on the environment. Rising global demand for food, fibre and fuel, and how global industries obtain these commodities, is placing increasing pressure on natural resources and biodiversity. These companies therefore have a crucial role to play in supporting conservation efforts and being part of the solution.
Changes in corporate practice are essential if there is to be real progress in tackling conservation challenges like climate change, clean energy solutions and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources.
In today’s increasingly competitive world, consumers, employees, shareholders and stakeholders are demanding that companies demonstrate sound environmental practices and corporate responsibility.
By engaging in innovative and challenging partnerships with the private sector, WWF works with companies to help them change the way they do business, reduce their environmental footprint, and promote innovative solutions.
WWF works with businesses by:
- Establishing partnerships with companies to help them change the way they do business.
- Working with companies and their supply chains to transform markets of key global commodities − such as seafood, beef and sugarcane.
- Promoting environmental awareness and responsible environmental practice among customers, employees, industry leaders and other stakeholders.
