CLIMATE CHANGE
Our corporate partners have already made
significant cuts in their greenhouse-gas
emissions, and have made bold commitments to
embrace renewable energy and cut emissions on
an unprecedented scale.
Business leaders were among the strongest
voices urging governments to agree an ambitious
climate deal. Among the many announcements
made by leading companies as part of WWFbacked initiatives during the Paris conference:
COMMODITIES
Unsustainable production of commodities
like palm oil, paper, soy and seafood drives
deforestation, water scarcity, biodiversity
loss, climate change and other threats to
the natural world. But a relatively small
number of companies have it in their
power to transform global markets and
make sustainable production the norm.

WATER STEWARDSHIP
Water stewardship is about committing to
sustainable management of shared water
resources in the public interest. We support our
business partners to progressively improve their
water use, reduce their water-related impacts
and take collective action to secure freshwater
supplies for people and nature.
