Corporate Partnerships: Making Wildlife Your Business

Since 1912 The Wildlife Trusts have been speaking out for nature in the UK. Our organisation is unique – whilst most of our work for wildlife takes place at local grassroots level, we have a UK voice.

Believing that wildlife is essential to a healthy environment for human beings, we work with people from all walks of life – industry, government, landowners and communities – to make sure nature gets a chance. By working together The Wildlife Trusts and our business supporters make a real difference to wildlife across the UK. These beneficial partnerships help companies to deliver their business, community and environmental objectives as well as helping The Wildlife Trusts work for better protection of our precious wildlife and habitats and can also raise the awareness of the public and government to wildlife threats.

Most chief executives today understand that social responsibility enhances corporate reputation. The Wildlife Trusts’ team works hard to achieve constructive two-way partnerships. We can provide a professional service, which will deliver real commercial benefits and public recognition, for your company.
In particular we are seeking partnerships which enable us to

• align The Wildlife Trusts USP with the delivery of the corporate objectives of our corporate partners.
• develop relationships with corporate partners that are aligned with our brand values.
• develop relationships with corporate partners which are long term, multi-faceted, realistic and deliverable.

At a local level, individual Wildlife Trusts engage with corporate partners in a variety of ways from straight forward corporate membership schemes, which vary from Trust to Trust, to employee volunteering schemes and higher level sponsorship agreements.

In addition, The Biodiversity Benchmark is a unique scheme managed by The Wildlife Trusts to assess and reward an organisation’s management of land for the benefit of Biodiversity. This is a commercial service which can be marketed by The Trusts to those in the corporate sector.

Through its nationwide network of quality environmental consultancies committed to sustainable activity based on ecological principles, The Wildlife Trusts’ consultancies offer professional expertise throughout the country in ecology, landscape and planning.

Whatever your area of work The Wildlife Trusts are well positioned to deliver your company’s business, community and environmental objectives at local, regional, national and UK level.
