Resource Summary

This free online training course introduces the fundamentals of the natural capitals approach. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the natural capitals approach and some guidance on where to start when adopting this approach within an organisation. Each module contains multiple instructor-led videos that provide business cases and case studies from leading companies. Interviews with business leaders provide expert insights and best practices to learners and cover the journey organisations have taken to embed the capitals across their operations. This course is introductory and no prior knowledge of natural, social or human capital is required. While it is open to all, it will be of specific relevance to individuals working in the private sector in strategy, risk management, finance, procurement, accountancy, auditing, human resources and sustainability teams.
