Corporate Partnerships

Increasingly businesses today understand the link between sound environmental practices and their profitable, long-term sustainability. Natural resource shortages, supply chain issues, the environmental footprint of products and services, and climate change are just some of the bottom-line issues companies must consider. WWF -- with its global reach, scientific expertise and in-depth knowledge across a full-spectrum of environmental issues -- is uniquely poised to assist companies looking to improve their business practices.

We have a successful track-record helping companies reduce their environmental footprint and understand the complex issues in today's marketplace. From assessing a company's environmental impact to helping identify innovative, new technological solutions, WWF is partnering with leading companies to help them achieve their business objectives while simultaneously supporting WWF's conservation objectives.

We are working with a variety of industries on a range of environmental issues around the world and are engaged in a number of ways. Read more on our partnerships

What our Partners are Saying
"We want to make sure our wood has been legally logged and does not come from threatened forests such as intact natural forests. This is why we joined forces with WWF to work with the timber supply chain from Russia to China."

- Thomas Bergmark, Head of Social and Environmental Affairs, IKEA Group

Improving Business Practices
To help improve environmental and purchasing practices, WWF has a number of programs focused on specific issues and sectors. Our programs help companies that seek to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions, improve purchasing practices of forestry and marine products, or incorporate sustainable farming practices in agricultural sectors such as soy, sugarcane, cotton and palm oil. Participants in these programs include Cargill, Dole, Adidas, Wal-Mart and IBM. Learn more
