About us

The WWF Nedbank Green Trust, founded in 1990 by Nedbank and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-SA), funds innovative projects to help solve some of the greatest societal and environmental challenges in South Africa. True to our motto, ‘igniting new ways for people and nature to thrive’, we have, over the years, sought new paths, points of connection and solutions to ensure that people prosper. Our passion is for people and nature to coexist in harmony for the benefit of our country and the wellbeing of all. The trust is funded through the Nedbank Green Affinity Programme, which has so far helped raise more than R300 million to support over 200 diverse environmental projects throughout South Africa.

  • The WWF Nedbank Green Trust, founded in 1990 by Nedbank and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), funds innovative projects that have the potential to contribute to solving some of South Africa’s greatest societal and environmental challenges.   Our slogan, 'igniting new ways for people and nature to thrive', is our key reason for existence and we have, over the years, sought new paths, points of connection and solutions to ensure that people prosper. Our passion is for people and nature to coexist in harmony for the benefit of our country and the wellbeing of all.   Our impact is achieved through working with partners and communities who champion the custodianship of our natural resources and directing their energy and efforts to key levers of change for South Africa's future. From the early days of conserving the Kalahari lions and sea turtles to more recent climate change, water conservation and environmental leadership initiatives, the WWF Nedbank Green Trust has been there, path-finding and forging the way. From the beginning the Green Trust recognised that the future prosperity of South Africa depends on the coming together of governments, businesses, organisations and all people, and so has worked to create and cement these interconnected relationships. The WWF Nedbank Green Trust achieves its impact through a very clearly defined strategy, which allows us to direct scarce resources and projects to key focus areas in order to make a difference.
