Capital

There are a number of related meanings in finance, accounting and economics. Capital refers to assets that can be used to create other assets. Sustainable managers recognize at least three different kinds of capital: financial (cash and other monetary instruments), natural (natural resources that can be used to create products or that provide the natural services of breathable air, drinkable water etc), and human/cultural (employees, customers, governments and almost any other human system a business operates within).
