WWF partners for the environment – ambitious and sustainable
WWF and its partner companies define ambitious environmental goals together, striving to use fewer resources and minimise negative effects on the environment. The partner companies also support WWF's environmental work financially. In return they receive access to WWF's global expertise and can communicate their commitment to the environment together with WWF.
Our partners
Detailed information on goals, achievement of targets, and the financial contribution of all partnerships can be found on the partner sites linked to the logos. In the 2019/20 financial year, WWF Switzerland raised CHF 5.6 million through corporate partnerships, which corresponds to about 12 percent of its total revenues.
Partnerships are making an impact
Partnerships have a positive impact on the environment: reduced CO2 emissions, more sustainable supply chains, more ecological products, sensitized customers and employees, commitment to environmental concerns vis-à-vis industry associations and more efficient energy use are only some of the results achieved.
Ambitious goals
WWF partnerships with companies are based on constructive dialogue and mutual challenge. To remain independent, WWF follows strict guidelines. These include due diligence and the right to publicly criticize their partners.
- Due Diligence. WWF conducts an audit with each partner company to clarify the negative impact, but also the potential for a positive impact of the company on the environment. WWF categorically excludes certain industries from a partnership, such as the coal and weapons industries.
- Commitment. Partners agree on goals with WWF, and regularly report to the organization on achieving their targets.
- Transparency. For all partnerships, WWF publishes the agreed goals and requirements for the companies, annually provides an update on the achievement of those goals and the amount of financial compensation.
