Definition

The Six Capitals are the value categories of the International Integrated Reporting Council's Integrated Reporting Framework (2013): financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship, and natural capital. Integrated reporting asks organisations to explain how they create, preserve or erode value across all six capitals over the short, medium and long term — replacing the purely financial account with a multi-capital one.
