"The PRI and UNEP FI commissioned Trucost to calculate the cost of global environmental damage and examine why this is important to the economy, capital markets, companies and institutional investors.

This study assesses the financial implications of unsustainable natural resource use and pollution by business. Trucost calculated the cost of global environmental damage for seven major environmental impacts. As environmental damage can be quantified in monetary terms it can be integrated into financial analysis. "
