“In Europe, we've developed standards that address both the financial risks and opportunities for the company, as well as the material impacts measured from the perspective of society, the environment, the planet, and the survival of humankind. By doing it all together, we were able to build a coherent system that shows how financial risks for a company and human rights issues are connected, such as access to water.”
