World Wildlife Fund (WWF–US) FY20 Corporate Partnerships Report

The WWF-US FY20 Corporate Partnerships Report outlines the organization's strategic approach to collaborating with the private sector to address environmental degradation. It categorizes partnerships into four types: driving sustainable business practices, communications and awareness raising, philanthropic partnerships, and employee engagement. The document lists specific corporate partners across various revenue tiers, highlighting collaborations on issues such as plastic waste, deforestation, and climate change, and notes that corporate partnership income represented 4% of the WWF-US office's total income in FY20.

• WWF-US categorizes its corporate collaborations into four distinct models: driving sustainable business practices to change operations and value chains, communications and awareness raising to mobilize consumers, philanthropic partnerships to fund specific projects, and employee engagement to raise funds and awareness among staff.
• In FY20, income generated from corporate partnerships accounted for 4% of the total income for the WWF-US office.
• WWF-US engages in high-value partnerships (over $250,000) with major corporations to target specific environmental goals, such as working with the American Beverage Association to build a "sustainable materials system" and prevent plastic waste, and collaborating with Walmart on "Project Gigaton" to prevent a gigaton of emissions by 2030.
• The organization utilizes specific industry platforms and certification schemes to drive corporate sustainability, including the UN Global Compact, Science Based Targets, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).
• WWF-US implements targeted technological interventions in Africa through partnerships, such as using thermal technology with FLIR Systems to end rhino poaching in 10 Kenyan parks and deploying technology with Cisco Systems to diminish poaching and human-wildlife conflict.
• The report details efforts to improve forest management and restoration in specific regions, including the Atlantic Forest in Brazil (with HP Inc. and International Paper) and paper product sustainability in China (with Apple and HP Inc.).
