What is natural capital?
The Natural Capital Protocol defines natural capital as the stock of renewable and non-renewable natural resources (e.g., plants, animals, air, water, soils,
minerals) that combine to yield a flow of benefits to people.
At IDEEA Group, we view nature as capital and we measure the services and benefits it provides.
