WRI WORKING

A Dynamic Partnership

In the 21st century, maximizing profits will require more than solely focusing on the financial

aspects of business. Social, environmental, and financial performance will be necessary for the

successful company to maximize opportunities. Companies that understand and manage their

triple bottom line will be most profitable. The World Resources Institute (WRI) enables people

to protect Earth’s environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of cur-

rent and future generations. We help companies understand new markets and global trends so

businesses continue to profit while protecting the environment and improving people’s lives.

The Management Institute for Environment and Business (MEB), as well as other WRI pro-

grams, help businesses maximize the triple bottom line. The issues are complex. Halting

global warming, the loss of species, the destruction of forests and marine ecosystems, and the

elimination of air and water pollution requires creative modes of thinking and new ways of

doing business. We create solutions that promote corporate responsibility and accountability to

people and the natural environment. WRI is the largest group of international experts in the

world on the environment, resource management, and environmental policy.

We uphold high standards of analytical excellence and independence. We convene and engage

diverse groups with varied points of view, including business, nongovernment (NGOs), and

government stakeholders. Partner with WRI and join a team of exceptional people from a

wide range of professional fields and cultural backgrounds. We are an organization that

meets global environmental challenges and is committed to putting ideas into action.

Together, we can create new sustainable markets and demonstrate that business can simulta-

neously achieve its economic, social, and environmental goals. Join us!

WITH BUSINESS“The social and environmental payoff for companies that successfully

manage their triple bottom line could be tremendous. We invite

companies to join in partnership with WRI to meet these challenges.”

Jonathan Lash, President, WRI

+ To move critical actors to change, we create practical solutionsto problems of environment and development—designingmechanisms that promote accountability.

+ Insist on analytical excellence, factual accuracy, and independ-ence in our work.

+ Foster an international orientation in our work, reflected in ourstaff, our Board, and our partnerships.

+ Build on our commitment to engage and convene stakeholdersacross sectors and regions.

+ Empower our staff and collaborators to use information tech-nologies to catalyze change and influence the use of thosetechnologies by others.

WRI’s Approach

CREATES

GREEN POWER MARKET DEVELOPMENT GROUP The Group fosters market demand for

1,000 megawatts of cost-effective, clean energy, enough to displace a large coal-fired power

plant. Benefits of group participation include professionally convened and facilitated dia-

logues, a portfolio of green power purchasing prospects, and the opportunity to learn from

other corporations’ experiences. “We have a goal of 10 percent of our energy supply from

renewable sources at competitive prices,” said Paul Tebo, Vice President at DuPont. “We’re

excited about participating in WRI’s group.”

WRI LEADS BY EXAMPLE When WRI moved to a new location in 1999, we wanted an office

space that expressed our values and mission. We chose environmentally friendly alternatives

to conventional building products, such as sustainably harvested and salvaged wood, bamboo,

and cork. We selected paints, countertops, flooring, and cabinets for their nontoxic materials

and manufacturing process. We purchased energy efficient lighting and appliances. To show

our commitment to reducing carbon dioxide, WRI pledged to have zero net emissions by 2005

or sooner by reducing paper and electricity use, staff travel, and by purchasing offsets.

Creating a clean energy future. WRI strives to halt

changes to the Earth’s climate caused by human activity.

CONSERVES

BIOTECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE Biotechnology offers the promise to help serve

the health and nutritional needs of the growing world population and also raises threats of

environmental damage and social inequity. WRI recognizes both the potential benefits and

the risks of releasing genetically engineered organisms. With these in mind, WRI applies

expertise in science and business strategy to partner with leading agricultural biotechnology

companies and NGOs to address the safety of biotechnologies. WRI collaborates with these

companies to support their implementation of the Biosafety Protocol of the Convention on

Biological Diversity.

GLOBAL FOREST WATCH When IKEA—the world’s largest home furnishings company—

wants help preserving intact natural forests, it turns to Global Forest Watch (GFW). GFW

combines satellite technology, on-the-ground observations, and the Internet to provide

information on the state of the world’s forests. GFW maps show IKEA, The Home Depot,

Lowes, and other leaders in the wood products industry the location of old growth and

endangered forests. GFW works with in-country partners to map the forests of Cameroon,

Canada, Chile, Gabon, Indonesia, Venezuela, and Russia. In the next 5 years, GFW will exam-

ine a total of 21 countries.

Conserving and sustainably using Earth’s biological resources.

WRI works with companies to deal wisely with such natural

resources as forests, fisheries, soil, agriculture, and ecosystems.

CATALYZES

Catalyzing business. Companies come to WRI to learn about innova-

tive, cutting-edge work in environment, development, and business.

WRI develops tools and solutions that help companies succeed.

GREENHOUSE GAS PROTOCOL In partnership with the World Business Council for

Sustainable Development, WRI brings together representatives from business, government,

and NGOs. The Initiative aims to simplify reporting greenhouse gas emissions, while im-

proving the credibility, comparability, and utility of the resulting information. This helps

multinational companies identify opportunities, establish reduction goals, and create a tool

to assess progress.

CAPITAL MARKETS AND CORPORATE VALUATION WRI shows how superior environ-

mental performance can improve the bottom line by developing new tools that allow

companies to quantify environmental risks and opportunities in financial terms. Investors

can use WRI’s methodology to identify which companies are best positioned to manage and

meet environmental challenges such as climate change. Businesses can use these tools to

measure the financial impact of forthcoming environmental issues.

INCREASES

SAFECLIMATE.NET Imagine entering a website, answering a few questions, and receiving a

greenhouse gas emissions calculation for your business or your family. Imagine a website that

suggests how to reduce your emissions and that sells climate friendly products and services.

Soon you won’t have to imagine this scenario. A nonprofit web enterprise, SafeClimate.net

will harness the power of the Internet and e-commerce to further climate protection and to

safeguard biodiversity. It will offer school children, educators, concerned citizens, and organ-

izations environmentally preferable choices to reduce their ecological impact.

DIGITAL DIVIDEND Digital technologies can benefit billions of people, help protect the

environment, and foster economic development. Yet, a huge gap—a digital divide—exists

between those with access to digital technologies and those without. WRI believes that this

digital divide can be transformed into a digital dividend. We are working with leaders of

information technology companies to create digital dividends that provide social, environ-

mental, and economic benefits.

Increasing access to information drives change. Information and

information technology can empower people to improve their lives

and the environment.

FOSTERS

Fostering a new generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs.

WRI is promoting a new model of corporate citizenship, one that

combines social, environmental, and financial goals.

BUSINESS-ENVIRONMENT LEARNING AND LEADERSHIP Our future depends on the

quality of our business leaders. Business-Environment Learning and Leadership (BELL)

helps foster leaders in North and Latin America, and Asia by incorporating environmental

and sustainability subjects into business school curricula. Beyond Grey Pinstripes, a biennial

survey of MBA programs by WRI and the Aspen Institute, ranks cutting-edge business schools

around the world. This survey is a guide for companies to find the best and brightest MBAs

trained to integrate environmental and social topics into business practices.

NEW VENTURES New Ventures helps socially responsible environmental entrepreneurs in

Latin America strengthen their business strategies and access investment capital. The team

provides one-on-one consultations, training workshops, and investor forums to developing

businesses. In addition to WRI staff, enterprises have access to our Environmental Enterprise

Corps of business school faculty, business students, and senior executives from leading

companies. “Your New Ventures Investor Forum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was a blockbuster!

Many said it was the best event in years,” said John Forgach, President, A2R Ltda.

A company cannot outsource its moral responsibilities.”

Samuel Johnson, Chairman, S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.and member of WRI’s Board of Directors

Inviting interested corporations to join the partnership.

WRI welcomes companies to become involved.

INVITES

“Membership in WRI’s Corporate Council gives companies access

to one of the most highly regarded environmental think tanks.

There are few peers among environmental research organiza-

tions that match the scope and authority of WRI’s work.”

William Ruckelshaus, Chairman of WRI and Principal, Madrona Investment Group, L.L.C.

TURN IDEAS INTO ACTION

PARTNERSHIP Work directly with WRI’s Management Institute for Environment and

Business (MEB), and other programs. By working together, we can generate research and

solutions for a particular issue. An example of this is the Safe Climate, Sound Business

Collaboration. Over an 18-month period, BP, General Motors, Monsanto, and WRI engaged

in a dialogue to develop a long-term vision and an Action Agenda on how to protect the

Earth’s climate while expanding global economic prosperity.

CONFERENCE PARTICIPATION We invite you to attend WRI’s informative conferences. The

Sustainable Enterprise Summit, the Digital Dividend Conference, and the New Ventures

Investor Forum are all organized and hosted by WRI for corporate audiences. The annual

Sustainable Enterprise Summit, for example, is an important agenda-setting forum for the

private sector that discusses the latest models and practices in corporate environmental

programs. The BELL and China BELL Conferences are designed for business school professors

focusing on urgent business, environmental, and social issues.
