VISION - OUR VISION IS TO BUILD A FUTURE IN WHICH PEOPLE
AND NATURE THRIVE. MISSION - WWF'S MISSION IS TO CONSERVE NATURE AND REDUCE THE MOST PRESSING THREATS TO THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE ON EARTH. GOAL AND STRATEGIES BY 2020, WWF WILL CONSERVE MANY OF THE WORLD'S MOST ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT REGIONS BY WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHERS TO: * PROTECT AND RESTORE SPECIES AND THEIR HABITATS * STRENGTHEN LOCAL COMMUNITIES' ABILITY TO CONSERVE THE NATURAL RESOURCES THEY DEPEND UPON * TRANSFORM MARKETS AND POLICIES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF COMMODITIES * ENSURE THAT THE VALUE OF NATURE IS REFLECTED IN DECISIONS MADE BY INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES, GOVERNMENTS AND BUSINESSES * MOBILIZE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11
WWF'S FINANCE DEPARTMENT GATHERS INFORMATION FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION AND PREPARES THE DRAFT 990 WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF OUR EXTERNAL AUDITORS. THE DRAFT IS REVIEWED BY THE CEO AND CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER. THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER REVIEWS THE 990 WITH THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD'S AUDIT COMMITTEE, AFTER WHICH, AND PRIOR TO FILING, THE 990 IS MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR FULL BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
EACH DIRECTOR AND STAFF MEMBER IS PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF WWF'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND ANNUALLY SIGNS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE POLICY AND DISCLOSES POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. WWF'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS ALSO PROVIDED TO ALL NEW DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES AT THE START OF THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH WWF; IS INCLUDED IN THE WWF BOARD HANDBOOK AND IN BOARD AND STAFF ORIENTATION MATERIALS; IS AVAILABLE TO ALL STAFF ON WWF'S INTRANET SITE; AND IS FEATURED AT PERIODIC STAFF TRAININGS. IN ADDITION TO THE ANNUAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE, THE POLICY PROVIDES THAT ALL DIRECTORS AND STAFF MUST DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE JUNCTURE AND BEFORE THE ORGANIZATION TAKES ACTION RELATING TO ANY ISSUE IN WHICH THERE IS A POTENTIAL CONFLICT. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS INVOLVING DIRECTORS ARE RAISED WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, AND THE BOARD (OR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ACTING IN ITS STEAD) REVIEWS THE FACTS OF EACH SITUATION AND MAKES A GENUINE AND INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION OF WHAT ACTION IS IN WWF'S BEST INTERESTS, I.E., IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT EXISTS, WHETHER IT CAN BE FULLY AND SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED OR WHETHER THE TRANSACTION MUST BE ABANDONED. THE BOARD MEMBER WITH THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT IS NOT PRESENT DURING DISCUSSION AND TAKES NO PART IN DECISIONS RELATING TO THE MATTER. POTENTIAL CONFLICTS INVOLVING STAFF MEMBERS ARE RAISED WITH WWF'S PRESIDENT, WHO REVIEWS THE FACTS OF EACH SITUATION AND DETERMINES, IF A POTENTIAL CONFLICT EXISTS, WHETHER IT CAN BE FULLY AND SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED OR WHETHER THE TRANSACTION MUST BE ABANDONED.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15
PRIOR TO ANY INCREASES IN SALARY OR PAYMENTS OF ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION, (SUCH AS BONUSES), TO A "DISQUALIFIED PERSON", THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE WWF BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THE RELEVANT MARKET DATA FOR COMPENSATION OF THE POSITION. THE INTERESTED INDIVIDUAL IS NOT PRESENT AND TAKES NO PART IN THE DISCUSSION. WWF CLOSELY OBSERVES THE IRS' "INTERMEDIATE SANCTIONS" PROCESS IN CONDUCTING THE REVIEW, AND OBTAINS AN ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION FROM AN EXTERNAL COMPENSATION PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FIRM. ALL BOARD MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REVIEW AND ARE APPRISED OF OUTCOMES.

FORM 990, PART III - GENERAL - FY14 RESULTS:
FY14 RESULTS FOR 990 THE WWF NETWORK, OF WHICH WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF-US) IS A PART, HAS FOR OVER 50 YEARS PROTECTED THE FUTURE OF NATURE. WWF WORKS IN OVER 100 COUNTRIES AND IS SUPPORTED BY OVER 1.1 MILLION MEMBERS IN THE UNITED STATES. IN FY14, WWF-US, AS PART OF A STRATEGIC UPDATE, ORGANIZED ITS WORK AROUND 6 GOALS, WHICH FOCUS ON THE MOST URGENT THREATS FACING THE PLANET AND ALIGN WITH GOALS OF THE WIDER WWF NETWORK. LISTED BELOW ARE SOME SELECTED EXAMPLES OF RESULTS FROM WWF'S WORK IN FY14, ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHICH WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE COMMITMENT OF WWF'S STAFF AND SUPPORTERS WORLDWIDE: * ON MAY 21, 2014, THE BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT, WWF AND A DIVERSE GROUP OF PARTNERS ANNOUNCED AN INNOVATIVE, $215 MILLION DEAL TO PERMANENTLY PROTECT THE WORLD'S LARGEST NETWORK OF TROPICAL RAIN FORESTS -THE 150-MILLION-ACRE AMAZON REGION PROTECTED AREA (ARPA). THIS CALIFORNIA SIZED PORTION OF THE AMAZON COVERS AN AREA THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF ALL US NATIONAL PARKS COMBINED, PROTECTING ONE OF THE MOST BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE PLACES ON EARTH AND PLAYING A CRITICAL ROLE IN STABILIZING OUR PLANET'S CLIMATE. * THIS FISCAL YEAR, WWF PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ADVISORY ROLE IN SHAPING THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S FIRST-EVER STRATEGY FOR COMBATING WILDLIFE TRAFFICKING. THE RESULTING DIRECTIVE HAS MADE THIS CRITICAL ISSUE A NATIONAL PRIORITY FOR MORE THAN A DOZEN FEDERAL AGENCIES. WWF PARTNERED WITH THE GOVERNMENT ON THE HISTORIC DESTRUCTION OF NEARLY SIX TONS OF SEIZED CONTRABAND ELEPHANT TUSKS AND IVORY TRINKETS. * OVERSEAS WE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT STRONG ACTION ON THE GROUND IN PLACES LIKE NEPAL, WHICH MARKED WORLD WILDLIFE DAY (MARCH 3) BY CELEBRATING 365 CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITHOUT THE POACHING OF A SINGLE RHINO, TIGER OR ELEPHANT. * ON JUNE 17, 2014, PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCED THE CREATION OF A NEW INITIATIVE TO COMBAT ILLEGAL FISHING -A GLOBAL PROBLEM WHICH COSTS THE ECONOMY UP TO $23 BILLION ANNUALLY. MORE THAN 60,000 SUPPORTERS AND PARTNERS JOINED WWF IN THE LEAD UP TO THE CONFERENCE, CALLING FOR ACTION TO STOP ILLEGALLY CAUGHT FISH FROM REACHING THE US SEAFOOD MARKET. * WWF AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL DATA GROUP CDP IDENTIFIED HOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAN SAVE BILLIONS BY AGGRESSIVELY CUTTING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AT A RATE CONSISTENT WITH SCIENTIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS. IN COLLABORATION WITH MCKINSEY & COMPANY AND POINT380, WWF AND CDP ARE USING THE 3% SOLUTION: DRIVING PROFITS THROUGH CARBON REDUCTION TO ILLUSTRATE HOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR COULD SAVE UP TO $780 BILLION OVER 10 YEARS BY REDUCING EMISSIONS BY 3% ANNUALLY AND INCREASING ENERGY EFFICIENCY INVESTMENTS BY A MERE 1.6 PERCENTAGE POINTS. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., CISCO SYSTEMS AND COLGATE-PALMOLIVE ARE SEVERAL LARGE US CORPORATIONS THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED 3% TARGETS. * IN OCTOBER 2013, WWF HELPED SECURE THE BISHKEK DECLARATION ON SNOW LEOPARD CONSERVATION AS WELL AS THE GLOBAL SNOW LEOPARD AND ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION PROGRAM. ENDORSED BY 12 NATIONS FROM CENTRAL AND SOUTH ASIA, THE DECLARATION IS MEANT TO PROTECT KEY SNOW LEOPARD LANDSCAPES AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. WITH SUPPORT FROM USAID, WWF'S FOCUS IS ON CONSERVING SNOW LEOPARD HABITAT, PROMOTING WATER SECURITY, AND HELPING COMMUNITIES PREPARE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. * IN FEBRUARY 2014, NORTH AMERICAN LEADERS AGREED TO CREATE A TRI-NATIONAL TASK FORCE TO CONSERVE THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY. IN 2013, THE NUMBER OF HIBERNATING MONARCHS REACHED AN ALL-TIME LOW. THE PLEDGE FOR CONSERVATION AMONG THE US, MEXICO AND CANADA WILL HELP PROTECT THE MONARCH MIGRATION. WWF PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE REACHING OF THIS COMMITMENT. * WORKING TOGETHER TO ADVANCE SUSTAINABILITY STEWARDSHIP, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY AND WWF ANNOUNCED BOLD, NEW GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS AND AN EXPANDED PARTNERSHIP. BUILDING ON THE INITIAL SUCCESS OF THEIR NEARLY DECADE-LONG AFFILIATION, THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS AGREED TO SET AMBITIOUS CONSERVATION AND PERFORMANCE TARGETS TO HELP SOLVE SHARED ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES, INCLUDING SUSTAINABLE WATER, CLIMATE, PACKAGING AND AGRICULTURE.
