Who we are
A Global Commitment to Nature and Communities
The Fondation Audemars-Watkins (FAW) is dedicated to protecting our planet’s vital ecosystems—oceans, wetlands, and forests—while fostering education and capacity building.
Rooted in Geneva, Switzerland, the Foundation supports locally driven initiatives in emerging countries that contribute to environmental conservation and enhance social robustness.
We believe that empowering communities is essential to ensure the long-term preservation of the natural world that sustains us all.
Through grants and partnerships, FAW supports organisations that advance this mission and contribute to lasting change for future generations.
