"[1] Earth Economics was one of the earliest pioneering global consultancies applying ecological economics concepts and methods for management of urban and technosphere impact assessment, ecosystem services, natural capital and integrated multiple capitals, green infrastructure investment, net present value with zero discount rates for distributional social equity adjustments, as well as other methods for comprehensive sustainability accounting and biodiversity finance.

Earth Economics offers "a pragmatic, collaborative approach to help organisations make sound investment and policy decisions that mitigate risk, add value, and build resilience by taking nature into account.
