And yet it is accounting standards, not science and not public policy, that set out how profit is calculated, which in turn drives investment decisions. What if we demanded that those standards reflect the true cost of business and its consequences?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnless we look again at these fundamental principles, which have gone under the radar for so long, capital markets will continue to contribute to inequality, nature loss and climate change.

Some costs are included; others are excluded and left to society. Unless we re-examine this system, which has long operated beneath public awareness, capital markets will continue to fuel inequality, nature loss, and climate breakdown.
