The document outlines a framework called Multi Dimension Impact Accounting (MDIA) which aims to capture all impacts of human activities and organizations on people and the environment. It shows how at the beginning of a period, people have certain needs and what they currently have. It then illustrates the various impacts of producing, using, and disposing of products on people's needs, resources, and the environment as well as on other stakeholders like workers, investors and governments. The framework aims to account for both monetary and non-monetary impacts to provide a more comprehensive picture of overall impact and value creation beyond just financial measures.
