“The 2016 Natural Capital Accounting workstream final report on ‘Net Impact’ was launched at the B@B Annual Conference in The Hague on 23 November 2016. The document provides an overview of the concept of ‘Net Impact’ and explains its extensive links with Natural Capital Accounting and wider sustainability concepts such as the circular economy and green infrastructure. ‘Net Impact’ is also considered in relation to its relevance at a company, product and site/project level, as well as from a business, government and financial institution perspective.
The report finds that there are considerable potential advantages for businesses and global sustainability if net impact approaches become more widely adopted. However, requirements and incentives for businesses and financial institutions to apply net impact assessments structures need to be enhanced.
