Corporate Partnership Report

By working with business, WWF aims to change behaviour and drive conservation results that would not be possible otherwise. More specifically, our work with business aspires to do this by:

• promoting better production and responsible sourcing of raw materials that otherwise drive deforestation or unsustainable use of water;
• encouraging a switch to 100 per cent renewable energy and away from fossil fuels;
• engaging jointly on public policy;
• supporting the equitable sharing of natural resources;
• redirecting financial flows to support conservation and sustainable ecosystem management;
• raising awareness of the need to consume more wisely; and
• protecting some of the world’s most ecologically important places.

We do this in a variety of ways, including supporting regulations that stop illegal or unsustainable activities, encouraging companies and industry platforms to make ambitious commitments and to engage in public policy discussions, and supporting credible certification schemes (e.g. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS). We also publish scorecards and reports on company or sector performance, mobilize public pressure through high-profile campaigns on issues related to business activities (e.g. Seize Your Power, Virunga), as well as work in partnership with individual companies.

This report focuses on the partnerships between WWF-Paraguay and individual companies.
