Strategic Framework
The 5 Capitals of Sustainability
Reinvesting Financial Capital into our valuable ecosystem. Our consideration of financial capital is only one of five returns, with the appreciation of natural, human and social capital.
1. Financial Capital: Those assets of an organisation that exist in a form of currency that can be owned or traded.
2. Manufactured Capital: Material goods or fixed assets which contribute to the production process rather than being the output itself – e.g. tools, machines and buildings.
3. Social Capital: Value added to the activities and economic outputs of an organisation by human relationships, partnerships and cooperation.
4. Human Capital: Human capital incorporates the health, knowledge, skills, intellectual outputs, motivation and capacity for relationships of the individual. Human Capital is also about joy, passion, empathy and spirituality
5. Natural Capital: The natural resources and processes needed by organisations to produce their products and deliver their services.
Natural Capital, alongside Ethical Human Capital (skills, knowledge & experience) will drive unprecedented produce, goods, services & commodities that in turn create Financial Capital.
A Bottom-up and
Top-down Approach
Natural Capital both the renewable and non-renewable resources (soil, air, plants, animals, water, minerals) that are available to us, form the foundation and the core focus we have towards developing a circular economy.
Expertise and
Collaboration
Through our experience, infrastructure, strategic partnership network, we leverage core value systems to support sustainable value creation.
