Key Insights
The Five Capitals Model is a framework that helps businesses understand sustainability by categorizing wealth creation into five types of capital: natural, human, social, manufactured, and financial. It guides organizations to maintain or enhance these capitals rather than deplete them. The model emphasizes the importance of considering environmental and social issues for long-term profitability and sustainable outcomes. It outlines specific ways organizations can contribute to each capital, such as using renewable resources, respecting human rights, fostering social relationships, efficiently using manufactured capital, and reflecting the value of other capitals in financial measures. The report suggests that this holistic approach to sustainability can lead to more responsible and successful business practices.
