Value and enhance your environmental
and social impacts
We help businesses, investors and governments to better understand, value and manage their impacts and dependencies on nature and people.
How will your organisation navigate the coming 10 year transition?
Society faces three inextricably linked crises around climate, nature and inequality that require a transformation of the global economic system within the next 10 years.
Successful transformation will likely require the adoption of a ‘regenerative’ and ‘multi-capitals’ approach, embracing the concept of ‘stakeholder capitalism’ that will involve:
Enterprises setting net zero and ideally regenerative net positive targets for carbon, biodiversity, water, waste and social equality etc.
Governments, businesses and financial institutions accounting for the full value of natural, social, human and produced capitals and impacts across all stakeholders.
The adoption of ‘integrated (systems) thinking’ for all decision-making.
Increased physical and transition risks: Droughts, floods, resource depletion etc. as well as strengthened regulations and standards, radical reforms for incentive mechanisms and changing mindsets.
Enhanced transparency on the sustainability information of products, companies and portfolios, as increasingly demanded by consumers.
Investors going beyond ESG towards a ‘risk-return-impact’ model or similar.
Businesses and investors who anticipate and respond effectively to these transitions stand to gain significantly.
Those that don’t will likely suffer.
