This adapted training module has been designed for businesses, organisations or colleagues in the food and beverage sector and in the early stages of their natural capital journey.
It will be most beneficial to individuals that have heard about natural capital and would like to better understand the concept and how it relates and applies to business.
This training module is based on the Natural Capital Protocol and WBCSD’s BET training material and was developed in collaboration with Nature^Squared .
The learning objectives for this module are to:
- Understand the concept of natural capital and its linkages with business decision-making and risks management;
- Identify natural capital impacts & dependencies as well as risks and opportunities and relate these to your business context;
- Familiarize yourself with a few key approaches and tools to start integrating natural capital into business decision-making.
You can also download a series of natural capital stories from businesses on their respective journey which will hopefully inspire you to take the next step. You can access additional stories and case studies through the following resources:
- Additional We Value Nature’s natural capital stories
- Capitals Coalition case studies
- WBCSD’s business examples
We would love to hear your feedback on the material as well as how you have made use of it. Please get in touch at: Training@wevaluenature.eu or submit your resources to the We Value Nature media library.
