We work with you to create practical and efficient solutions that allow you to move forward with confidence.
Vision and Mission
Most people are aware of the existential threats posed to our planet and to humanity by climate change and global inequalities. This decade is THE decade in which we need to achieve widespread, lasting change. From coronavirus to climate change, from migration to inequality, all the problems our global society is facing can be addressed if we are able manage this planet jointly and sustainably.
Our vision, shared by many, is that by 2030, the world can celebrate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals as the global paradigm for political, economic, and civil society development.
Millwater Partners’ mission is to work with clients and partners to do things differently with the end goal of sustainability in mind: by 2030, Millwater Partners will have helped 100 organisations and businesses play their part in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
“Everything we do during and after this crisis [Covid-19] must be with a strong focus on building more equal, inclusive and sustainable economies and societies that are more resilient in the face of pandemics, climate change, and the […] global challenges we face.”
Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General, on the choice we will face after the COVID-19 crisis
