Capitalactiv is a management consultancy specialising in sustainability. We help you get a handle on carbon and natural capital. Within your operations and investments, and across your products and services.
From our early involvement in the sector, we have a deep understanding of how global environmental issues are shaping markets, consumers, business and government responses.
We aim to help asset owners and investors make decisions that are more sustainable, more responsible, and which maximise long-term returns.
Services include:
We help start-ups and corporate spin-outs commercialise environmental technologies and services.
Services include:
We help deliver more efficient buildings, processes, transport logistics and products.
We look to gain a detailed understanding of where fuel and energy is actually used on site, and throughout the supply chain. This helps us to identify where the greatest potential for emissions reduction can be found and to develop a list of resource saving opportunities with actionable next steps. Our systematic approach helps our clients to reduce environmental risks, costs and impacts; and to maximise business performance.
Our partners also provide more complex production process efficiency modelling and improvements, tackling energy, waste and water.
We have a successful track record in assisting the commercialisation of more than 40 different innovations for private inventors and SMEs, university academics, corporate executives, and on behalf of investors.
Enhancing natural capital requires investment in social capital too. So much of good natural capital management and decision making is about social capital management, and investment in supply chains, and stakeholder communities.
Our objectives with this piece of research were to gauge how far natural capital is already addressed in mainstream reporting, and to indicate what companies should be reporting in the future. Does it add anything new to investor and stakeholder assessment of corporate value, and the interplay with environmental issues?
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.
