The draft Protocol and Sector Guides have been developed by the Natural Capital Coalition as a standardized framework for business to measure and value its impacts and dependencies on natural capital and to help them integrate this into their decision making.
Ten businesses will be testing the Protocol in depth, including The Coca-Cola Company, The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Hugo Boss, Kering, Natura, Nespresso, Nestlé, Olam International and Shell. This first-of-its-kind programme is designed for businesses to live-test, refine and influence the final Protocol to ensure it is robust, practical and relevant to the entire private sector.
Financial institutions can drive deforestation and land conversion through their lending and investment practices. Investment in three soft commodities: Palm Oil; Beef; and Soy, may indirectly contribute to substantial deforestation, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss across the globe. The new Soft Commodity Forest-risk Assessment Tool provides a framework through which financial institutions can assess and manage exposure.
The new CDSB Framework for reporting environmental information and natural capital is part of a crowded field. Its strength is that it is designed to dovetail with financial reporting boundaries.
