Commitment to Transparency

We’re an open book.

At WHC, we are committed to the idea of radical transparency. This means we are open, true and direct with information about our organization, procedures and outcomes. We believe this level of transparency is a requirement of any certifying body and hope that it drives conversation, innovation and ultimately, increased conservation.
