One who ticks both these boxes is Thomas Vellacott, the Chief Executive of WWF Switzerland. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/\">World Wildlife Fund<\/a>&nbsp;is the leading organisation in wildlife conservation and endangered species. What his organisation does is integral to how many of the future trends we regularly discuss and then invest in \u2013 from cloud to wind and fish to chips \u2013 evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The move towards net zero is happening, \u201cbut not quickly enough\u201d<\/strong>, according to Thomas. Against this background,&nbsp;<strong>the role of the WWF is to \u201chelp provide tools.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;Through a combination of convening, campaigning and cooperation, the Fund seeks to accelerate progress. The former can involve the setting of initial standards. Examples would include the Science Based Targets initiative or the Forest Stewardship Council. The WWF will also publish detailed industry reports and analysis of their supply chains as part of its campaigning work, as well as working separately with over 200 companies. Cooperation typically takes the form of&nbsp;<strong>bilateral agreements with businesses that are willing to \u201cpush the envelope\u201d in terms of sustainable innovation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sig.biz\/investors\/en\/news-events\/media-releases\/sig-signs-major-new-partnership-with-wwf-switzerland-to-support-thriving-forests\">partnership between SIG and the WWF<\/a>&nbsp;is one of the best examples of recent cooperation. We have made&nbsp;<strong>the case for reducing plastic waste and introducing more sustainable packaging solutions<\/strong>&nbsp;since&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heptagon-capital.com\/winning-the-war-on-waste\/\">2018<\/a>. The agreement between the WWF and SIG \u2013 a leading provider of aseptic cartons \u2013 helps build resilient forest ecosystems globally by strengthening and expanding sustainable forest management, protection and landscape restoration. Work is already underway to help secure a landscape of 100,000 hectares in Mexico that serves as a critical jaguar habitat. Further projects look set to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the WWF, businesses such as SIG (and others with whom it has partnered in different areas, such as Carrefour and HSBC) are \u201cpart of the solution.\u201d Sustainability initiatives tend to be typically led from the top, with full buy-in across the corporate C-suite and Board. There is a compelling logic, with which we concur, for both a \u201csuits and boots\u201d approach to saving the world:&nbsp;<strong>reduce carbon and protect wildlife both through direct action and Boardroom influence.<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cEvery little bit helps\u201d, we were told.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally Posted February 8, 2024 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heptagon-capital.com\/season-6-post-6-how-to-save-the-world-suits-and-boots\/\">How to save the world \u2013 \u201csuits and boots\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>The above does not constitute investment advice and is the sole opinion of the author at the time of publication.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>Heptagon Capital is an investor in SIG Combibloc.
