The Water Sector Multi-capitals Network has launched the Principles of multi-capitals approaches to decision making. Despite variations in approaches towards multi-capitals accounting, the principles laid out in this paper will support consistency and alignment, and support better decisions to be made using multi-capital information. Multi-capital approaches should be comprehensive, trustworthy and useful. This paper will help guide practitioners on what these principles mean for them and their organisations, and how to ensure multi-capitals approaches are driving better value.
