Capitals Coalition

#InTheCoalitionSeries It will be officially launched in November, but we can already say we are pleased to be part of this collaborative initiative. The Impact Valuation Hub aims to advance the use of impact valuation among private investors, and it will be a fundamental bridge to gaps in knowledge, education, data, and tools that hinder the widespread adoption of impact valuation.

#WeekendRead📚: ESG is dead. Long live ESG The tension between profitability and sustainability has long been a challenge for businesses. As the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agenda has fallen short of delivering real change, this article argues for a radical shift. ESG as we know it is over. Moving beyond risk management, we must embrace "competitive sustainability" — where businesses see sustainability not as a responsibility, but as a core driver of competitiveness and resilience. “Rather than asking ‘How much sustainability can we afford?’ companies must ask ‘How do we accelerate, navigate and benefit from the transition?’” 📰 Read the full article in the Financial Times: https://lnkd.in/gqJNt7uC #CapitalsCoalition #ESG #ClimateAction #BusinessTransformation

Spotlight on Value Balancing Alliance The Capitals Coalition community is a global network of over 400 organizations committed to embedding the capitals approach into decision-making. Value Balancing Alliance, a not-for-profit association of over 27 global companies and the four largest audit firms, is pioneering a new approach to sustainable decision-making. Their mission is to create a sustainability management accounting system that empowers decision-makers to act with environmental and social responsibility. As part of Capitals Coalition’s Advisory Panel, a group of 40 leading organizations, they contribute critical input and guidance to our strategic development each year. The Alliance focuses on three key areas: methodology development, testing and piloting, and public affairs — driving change across industries. We're proud to have them as part of our advisory panel. #CapitalsCoalition #SustainableBusiness #ImpactAccounting

To help organizations navigate integrated decision-making, the Capitals Coalition has developed three key tools: the beta Framework for Integrated Decision-making, the Capitals Protocol, and the Governance for Valuation. Together, these resources provide a comprehensive, practical approach for businesses aiming to incorporate natural, social, and human capitals into their decision-making strategies. The Capitals Protocol acts as a supporting document to the main framework and provides detailed guidance on how to conduct an integrated capitals assessment. Be among the first organizations to trial the Framework by taking part in the public consultation https://bit.ly/3NrsZuI #IntegratedDecisionMaking #CapitalsApproach

#InTheCoalitionSeries The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) calls for urgent action to redirect capital from harmful activities and increase #investments in #naturepositive initiatives. Financial institutions, as intermediaries of the #economy, hold the key to this transformation. Through the A-Track project, a new report led by the Centre for Sustainable Finance (CISL) has been published today, highlighting the critical role private finance must play in halting and reversing nature loss.

Everything is dependent on #nature. It’s vital that we recognise nature’s value to our economies and society and protect our natural assets for future generations. Macdoch Foundation with La Trobe University has just launched a new science-based online resource that explains how our entire lives, businesses and economies depend on natural capital, the Natural Capital Primer.   The Primer breaks down the concepts around natural capital, unpacks how different industries #depend on and #impact natural capital, and features an engaging tool to see how our everyday routines rely on natural capital. It also features a series of natural capital resources, including the ones from Capitals Coalition.

In a changing world, the challenges for achieving #sustainable, #inclusive #wellbeing for all have become more complex in many ways. However, a rising interest in well-being metrics and policy approaches at the national and international levels to advance Sustainable Development Goals is happening. The 7th edition of the OECD World Forum, at the beginning of November, will bring together experts, practitioners, and thought leaders to strengthen approaches to centering multidimensional well-being in policy, measurement, and societal action. We will be there with a workshop on integrating the value of nature, people, society and the economy.

#WeekendRead📚: Rethinking Economic Growth in a Finite World With climate change forcing us to reconsider traditional economic growth, “de-growth” is often discussed — but is it truly feasible? In this thought-provoking article, Markus Müller explores alternative ways to approach growth, learning from physicist Anders Levermann’s “growth into diversity” theory, which encourages innovation in a world with finite resources. The author also delves into the role of engineered scarcity and smart policies to encourage sustainable growth without sacrificing prosperity.
