4. Natural capital productivity (“Factor Four” approach)

The great benefit of the inputs option is that it ultimately offers a greater focus on resource productivity (doing more with less, wasting nothing) that is very aligned with the efficiency principle most companies have adopted to manage their operations. Additional positive features of inputs focus include the possibility to scale and aggregate the information from the smallest to the largest business unit. This is a useful feature for developing an accounting system for the planet, applying the so-called Factor Four framework (see figure 4).4 Factor Four can help define a single performance ratio measuring the return on input from the planet by comparing the product to the amount of input materials required to produce it through natural resources metrics. And finally, the inputs approach allows fairly simple monitoring of how effectively the planet’s resources are being managed over time through a specific business activity.
