OVERVIEW
The Natura Future P&L Tool is a digital platform designed to help businesses estimate the positive and negative value they create for people, society, and nature. By integrating monetised ESG metrics into a traditional financial framework, the tool allows organisations to assess their total impact beyond conventional profit and loss statements. It serves as an accessible entry point for finance professionals and business leaders to quantify externalities associated with their operations.
Organisation behind the tool
The tool was developed and is maintained by Natura, a Brazilian cosmetics multinational known for its focus on sustainability and integrated reporting.
What the tool does
The tool provides a structured methodology to measure and monetise impact across several pillars:
- Estimates the social, environmental, and human value generated or depleted by business activities.
- Allows users to input specific business data to generate a customised “Future P&L” report.
- Supports calculations in multiple currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, and BRL.
- Provides a visual representation of how externalities affect the overall value proposition of the company.
Target audience
The primary intended users are business executives, sustainability officers, and finance professionals. It is also relevant for researchers and policymakers interested in corporate impact valuation.
Relevance to finance professionals
Finance professionals can utilise the tool to enhance their understanding of non-financial risks and opportunities through:
- Risk assessment – identifying hidden costs and potential liabilities related to environmental degradation or social issues.
- ESG analysis – providing a framework to monetise environmental and social metrics, making them comparable to financial figures for internal and external reporting.
- Investment context – assessing the long-term viability of business models by accounting for their impact on natural and human capital.
- Market insights – evaluating how sustainability performance may influence brand value and market positioning.
