Five Capitals Framework
To understand how Green Catalyst aligns with the Five Capitals Framework, please see each Capital to understand our contribution and commitment.
Natural Capital
This refers to the world's natural resources and ecosystems, such as air, water, soil, plants, animals, and minerals, which provide essential goods and services that support life and economic activity.
Green Catalyst's contribution and commitment includes incorporating environmentally sustainable practices in our operations, such as energy efficient equipment and a no print policy. Additionally, we offer sustainability consulting services to help clients reduce their environmental impact, through optimised business processes and fully support our "Plant a Tree" initiative.
Human Capital
This encompasses the skills, knowledge, experience, health, and abilities of individuals that contribute to their productivity and capacity to create value for organisations and society.
Green Catalyst's contribution and commitment includes publishing educational blogs, as a way of continuous learning to stay updated on cyber security, sustainability trends and process improvement methodologies. We also offer an online training platform, to enhance individuals and teams skills in Cyber, ESG and FinOps.
Social Capital
This refers to the networks, relationships, trust, and shared values within a community or organisation that facilitate cooperation, collaboration and collective well-being.
Green Catalyst's contribution and commitment includes being an active member of a local business sustainability group and we ensure the involvement of ethical business practices in all aspects of our operations, by fostering trust, transparency and integrity.
Manufactured Capital
This refers to the physical infrastructure, tools, equipment, and technology created by humans that are used to produce goods and services and support economic activities.
Green Catalyst's contribution and commitment includes helping clients to optimise their infrastructure for greater efficiency and sustainability, and by keeping our website and online training platform user-friendly and accessible.
Financial Capital
This refers to the funds, investments, and financial instruments that provide the resources necessary for businesses and individuals to generate income, invest, and sustain operations.
Green Catalyst's contribution and commitment includes offering cost-effective services that demonstrate ROI for our clients, such as reduced cyber risks, operational efficiency or sustainability savings. Additionally, to remain financially sustainable we manage cash flow effectively and contribute financially to our sustainability "Plant a Tree" Initiative.
