We're here to radically transform 10 industries in 10 years. 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. 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.
