Millwater Partners helps make sustainability happen in practice. Our partners and clients are part of a growing sustainability movement that understands the corner stones of a truly sustainable society: Justice, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.
We help make sustainability part of business and organisational goals, create strategic pathways towards growth, and foster solid and trusted partnerships that are key to lasting change.
We support organisations and companies to apply the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a basis for investment, ethical growth, and stronger impact. Within the 17 SDG topics, we specialise in health, equality, water, energy, climate change, and partnerships.
We work with you to create practical and efficient solutions for sustainability challenges that allow you to move forward with confidence.
Vision and Mission
Climate change and global inequalities pose existential threats to our planet and to humanity. We are convinced that systematic and creative engagement can do more than just contain the threats – it will lead to huge benefits for people, businesses, and organisations.
Our vision is that by 2030, the world can celebrate real, tangible progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals as the global paradigm for political, economic, and civil society development.
Our mission is to work with clients and partners to steer into new, sustainable strategies and practices. We support our clients and partners in playing their part towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
"What is needed to overcome the global threats is striving towards Justice, Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion – or JEDI for short. We all have to become JEDI knights."
Farhana Yamin, lawyer and climate activist
