Overview
Hunter Lovins, of Natural Capitalism Solutions, Inc. (NCS), will show your institution how to increase profitability and efficiency while becoming more environmentally and socially responsible. Natural Capitalism will help your institution manage an “integrated bottom line,” combining profitability, environmental awareness and social responsibility, while fostering greater levels of operational effectiveness.
NCS training will show your organization how to implement a whole-systems approach. This approach enables you to increase core business value. Using resources more productively and operating in ways that are restorative of people and the planet can deliver increased profitability and greater competitive advantage in your industries.
What is Natural Capitalism?
Natural Capitalism is a managerial philosophy put into action with a commitment to using our natural resources and human capital in a way that increases profit and quality of life (adapted from Natural Capitalism Solutions' mission statement).
The Natural Capitalism Principles used by NCS are:
1. Radical Resource Efficiency:
Radically increase the productivity with which all resources are used, including energy, water, materials and people. The growing number of profitable solutions to environmental challenges can buy the time needed to implement measures that will attain true sustainability.
2. Design for Sustainability
Such innovative design processes as Biomimicry, Cradle to Cradle and other forms of green design enable businesses to harness nature's wisdom to drive innovation. These approaches allow us to create systems that eliminate waste and toxics while delivering superior products and service.
3. Manage for Prosperity and Sustainability:
Employ the emerging practice of Sustainable Management to restore, enhance and sustain the natural and human capital needed for continuing financial prosperity. Effective Sustainable Management enables companies and communities to enhance core business value and reinforce competitive advantage.
