Since we launched our global partnership with WWF in 2012, we have embarked on numerous projects—globally, regionally, and locally—in support of its mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and build a future in which people live in harmony with nature.
We have been proud to support WWF’s efforts toward a New Deal for Nature and People, and to collaborate on topics ranging from forests to oceans, from sustainable finance to environmental policy, and from advocacy climate to biodiversity. We have mobilized BCG’s digital capabilities to accelerate WWF’s impact through initiatives such as OpenSC for supply chain transparency and an early warning system to prevent deforestation. We have also supported some of its world-changing partnerships, such as the Science-Based Targets initiative.
On the regional and local levels, we have assisted WWF's four largest offices—US, UK, Netherlands, and Germany—in developing transformation roadmaps of their own. And in Hong Kong, BCG worked with WWF on its Low Carbon Manufacturing Programme (LCMP), which seeks to reduce manufacturers' carbon footprint. BCG assisted LCMP on strengthening existing customer relationships and on preparing sales material to attract new customers. As a result, LCMP is expected to shift from requiring additional funding to becoming financially self-sustaining.
Nature loss cannot be prevented without managing climate change. WWF and BCG outline how companies can use transition planning as an opportunity to address both.
The reconstruction of Ukraine will be a massive undertaking—and a unique opportunity to build an economy that is both environmentally and economically sustainable. WWF and BCG in this report chart a path toward Ukraine’s postwar future.
Natural ecosystems touch all aspects of our daily lives, from the air we breathe to our health. Businesses have an important role to play in safeguarding these ecosystems by eliminating deforestation & conversion from their supply chain.
Companies looking to implement a successful climate response must follow a robust mitigation hierarchy to truly address the crisis and help stop nature loss.
As the impact of plastic waste in the ocean reaches crisis proportions, businesses are joining the call for a UN treaty to address the problem.
As the global fire count hits a new record in 2020, at least 75% of wildfires are due to human activities. WWF & BCG call on governments, companies and consumers to implement critical climate change action.
Nicolas Kachaner talks about how the different strengths of the two organizations form a uniquely effective collaboration.
Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF, says there’s a greater awareness than ever of the destructive consequences of our way of living—and a readiness within business, government, and society to put real plans for change into action.
