Improving employee engagement with WWF

Great employee engagement has the power to boost staff cohesion, morale and retention. It’s also shown to attract new employees and younger generations in particular are showing increased care in environmental charities and will consider a company's commitment to the environment when job hunting today.

Through our engagement activities, you’ll support WWF in our critical need to spread awareness of the problems our planet is facing. You’ll help grow the movement of people fighting for our world which, before long, governments and other businesses simply won’t be able to ignore.

Here are some examples of how we can collaborate. Each partnership will be bespoke and vary based on your needs and interests and we’re always keen to take on your ideas too! Please note that the examples listed below are dependent on the current campaigns, the availability of staff and the ambition of the partnership.

Fundraising Activities

Fundraising for WWF can take the shape of many different activities, whether that’s in-person, virtual, office-related, individual or team activities. The best fundraisers play to your employees’ interests and skills.

Traditional fundraising, such as quiz/comedy/karaoke/games nights, raffles, auctions or sweepstakes and baking and cooking challenges.

Fundraise with our campaigns, for example, for Earth Day on 22nd April you could organise a team sponsored challenge where you ‘walk the world, for your world’ over one week. The Earth has a circumference of 40,075km, if 500 employees took part this would mean 80km per person!
