Location:  Grand Hyatt Hotel Dubai, Al Marsam 1 Room, October 26, 2016

This launch event will set out the objectives and principles for developing a financial sector supplement to help businesses in the financial sector include natural capital in their decision making.

The guidance being developed will build on the Natural Capital Protocol, launched in July, adding to the sector guidance already available for both the apparel and food and beverage sectors.

 This workshop session will seek feedback on the key principles for the development of the financial sector supplement, to understand the needs of business and to set out the timeline for the project.

For those unable to attend the session in person a webinar session will be held later in November.
