The Luc Hoffmann Institute to be an integral part of WWF’s Global Conservation architecture
As part of Jon Hutton’s appointment, the Luc Hoffmann Institute will be adopted as a key part of WWF International’s Global Conservation Division, continuing to operate under Jon Hutton’s overall direction. The institute will retain its independence of thought and a degree of operational autonomy, serving as an engine for innovation within WWF while sustaining its current trajectory.
“My decision to make the move was strongly influenced by the fact that the future of the Luc Hoffmann Institute will be secured. I am grateful to everyone that has partaken in our journey so far, and look forward to seeing the institute and the ideas it incubates flourish within the new arrangement. I think that Luc Hoffmann, who was WWF International’s first Vice-President, would have embraced this development,” said Jon Hutton.
