1 PROGRESS REPORT EN 0 Results What has working with the private sector delivered for nature

2 Only if we transform markets for commodities, water and energy and our demands for them, will the Earth be able to continue providing us with such natural resources in the long term. WWF s aim is to help bring change to the world s markets in four main ways: through a sector approach, one-on-one agreements with companies, sustainable financing, and by influencing policy. MARKET SHARE OF CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS WWF Netherlands encourages the use of certification systems for several key commodities including wood, paper/pulp, seafood, palm oil and soy. We focus on these because of the role played by the Netherlands in global trade of these commodities, as well as to provide an example for others. The market share of a certification system is an indicator for the extent to which that market has become sustainable.

3 BILATERAL COOPERATION WWF enters into one-on-one partnerships with companies that due to their sheer size are able to bring about change in commodity markets and energy-intensive sectors. Market Transformation partnerships Analysis by WWF shows that by working with the companies that have the great est impact on commodity markets it is possible to transform up to 50 percent of production. WWF has identified 00 such companies that we aim to engage to increase the sustainability of 5 key commodity markets. At the end of 0, WWF had made formal agreements with 9 of the 00 identified companies. In 0, WWF Netherlands signed a new 4 year agreement with the Rabobank, extended its agreement with Albert Heijn (Ahold) and undertook outreach activities with Kimberly-Clark and IKEA. Climate Savers Climate Savers are companies that help accelerate the transition to a low carbon economy, in line with the WWF Energy Report. Within the WWF Climate Savers programme, s are agreed for CO reduction, sector leadership and innovation. In 0 KPN was the second Dutch company to become a Climate Saver (Eneco was the first in 00) and in doing so raised the worldwide total to 7 companies. Climate Saver companies cut their carbon dioxide emissions by more than 00 million tonnes over the period 999 to 0. This figure is equivalent to double the annual emissions of Switzerland. INCOME WWF Netherlands strategic partners also provide financial support for our nature conservation programmes.

6 CONSUMER CAMPAIGNS Together with its strategic company partners, WWF Netherlands organises campaigns that aim to increase consumer awareness of sustainability issues and encourage them to take action. The return of TV animal quiz Waku Waku In 0 Eneco and WWF Netherlands organised a campaign for Borneo. Together, we highlighted the importance of forests and the work of WWF in Borneo. Members of the public were able to take part in the Waku Waku quiz which was revived specially for this campaign. Two winners and their partners went on an expedition to Borneo to experience the local situation and see what WWF is doing to preserve the rainforests of Borneo. News about the expedition was widely covered by the media, including several daily national newspapers, a mini documentary on National Geographic TV, and expedition reports in Panda magazine, Quest and National Geographic Magazine. Double Nature In 0 WWF Netherlands organised the Double Nature campaign with its partners aimed at fundraising for key nature conservation goals: more protected areas in the Arctic, more hectares of FSC-certified forest in Borneo, and a larger population of black rhinos in South Africa. The campaign called on the public to donate euro (or more) by sending an SMS. The amount donated was then doubled by KLM, Eneco or Rabobank. Super Animals! In 0 Albert Heijn launched the Super Animals campaign with WWF Netherlands. Our goal was to use a fun approach to teach the Dutch consumers about animals and to stimulate their interest in nature. In total 9 million sets of cards were handed out to an estimated.5 million collectors. In store, shoppers were also treated to surprising and interesting animal facts. In response to the online quiz Which Super Animal are you? almost million messages were sent. According to a survey both young and old took part in the quiz which was a remarkable achievement for a campaign of this kind. 6

7 PUBLICATIONS WWF undertakes various research into sustainability issues. Below are several recent publications. February 0- The Energy Report This report was published jointly by WWF and Ecofys. It investigates whether it is possible to supply the world using only renewable energy by 050. The result is the most ambitious, science-based scenario of global energy demand and supply to date. The report identifies 0 recommendations necessary to achieve a 00% renewable energy supply which is key in tackling dangerous climate change. May 0 Clean Economy Living Planet 0 On behalf of WWF Netherlands, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants updated their international ranking of cleantech industries worldwide and analysed the opportunities available to the Dutch industry. In the first edition in 009, countries were ranked according to their cleantech turnover. The 0 report discusses the development of the worldwide cleantech market and highlights the reasons behind changes in the country rankings. October 0 - The Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard 0 The second edition of the Palm Oil Buyers Scorecard compares the ambitions of companies from Europe, Australia and Japan on sustainable palm oil. A distinction was made between food manufacturers, supermarkets and other retailers. The study examines the sustainable palm oil buying policies and practices of these companies. The scorecard also considers whether companies provide full transparency on the total volume of palm oil they use, and whether they actually use sustainable palm oil in their products.
