Natural Capital Protocol offers 'route map' for water regulation

摘要

The first global Natural Capital Protocol will provide a timely route map for the water sector's future environmental regulation, according to Robert Spencer, director of sustainability at AECOM. Spencer was talking as representatives from more than 160 of the world's leading organisations met in London recently for the Protocol launch. Applicable globally and across multiple business contexts, the Protocol and accompanying sector guides provide a standardised framework for businesses to measure and value their direct and indirect impacts and dependencies on natural capital, and will help businesses make improved decisions by taking the environment into account.
