wwf-x | accelerating impact

we're here to
Radically transform
10 industries in 10 years

How we do it

We work with pre-existing private sector coalitions, representing up to 80% of the market in any one vertical and support organisations to tackle difficult sustainability challenges.

The model focuses on the key pain points in the current system:

◦ Mitigating the risk of the sourcing, selection and testing of new solutions
◦ Fast tracking economies of scale for prohibitively expensive new comers
◦ Evidencing the crucial commercial traction to release early stage capital for rapid commercialisation.

Why wwf

WWF is one of the largest environmental conservation organisations in the world.

Since 1961, the network has invested $11b+ into 13,000+ conservation projects across over 100 countries.

WWF already works with some of the world’s biggest companies to encourage them to become stewards of the natural world that their activities depend on.

WWF-X is the logical next step. It is time for WWF to step up and lend a hand.

Progress at the pace the planet needs it

Ensuring the sustainability of this planet is a very real, ever more urgent issue that will affect every single industry and its investment on this planet.

At the same time, never before have we seen this level of engagement from business – together we face a unique and exciting opportunity to transform industries globally.

Together, we can make a difference.

a few kind words

Marco Lambertini, Director General WWF International

"We are living in a time of unprecedented risk but also opportunity for the future of our planet and our society. We saw at COP21, that there are a growing number of corporations who are committing to address climate change. But time is of the essence, so now, more than ever, we need leadership to act, and fast. WWF-X will bring together decision makers from business acceleration, clean technology, academia and investment to focus on common goals to accelerate impact at scale."

Bernadette Clavier, DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL INNOVATION, STANFORD

"The world has been missing a catalyst to mobilize the top entrepreneurial, financial, and regulatory resources to address industry wide environmental challenges that no individual organization can address on its own. WWF-X's innovative model will bring to life collective solutions that weren't possible before and generate the necessary speed and momentum for them to succeed. I've never been more hopeful in our ability to address the environmental challenges of our times."

Lionel Bodin, Accenture Development Partnerships Lead, Europe

“WWF-X integrates cutting-edge initiatives based on WWF’s insight into the effect of environmental challenges. Drawing on the vast capabilities of major corporations and the rapidly evolving world of innovative finance, WWF-X has the potential of being a game-changer for a more sustainable world.”
