The report explores our management approach, value created and impacts addressed under the non-financial Capitals: [Human](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/human-capital/), [Social](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/social-capital/), [Natural](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/natural-capital/), [Intellectual](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/intellectual-capital/), [Intangible](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/intangible-capital-brand/) and [Manufactured Capitals](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/our-7-capitals/manufactured-capital/). *“In addition to qualitative and quantitative information in our Annual Report, we are currently reviewing methodologies to financially account for our impacts across seven ‘Capitals’. With this insight, we will be able to further mitigate risk and assess how we are tracking on achieving long-term value, even as we continue to deliver on performance in the short term.”* **~Sunny Verghese, Co-Founder and Group CEO** This, in turn, will contribute to Olam’s ambitious new Purpose to **Re-imagine Global Agriculture** which is the overall theme of the report. [Case studies](http://49tmko49h46b4e0czy3rlqaye1b.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Olam-Annual-Report-FY17-Our-Purpose_Re-imagining-global-agriculture.pdf) and the [CEO Review](http://olamgroup.com/investor-relations/annual-report-2017/strategy-report/group-ceo-review/) explain how we aim to achieve: - **Prosperous farmers and farming systems** *Re-thinking how people and companies are financially rewarded to make the agricultural sector attractive and viable* - **Thriving communities** *Revitalising communities who depend on agricultural systems so that people live well* - **Re-generation of the living world** *Re-generating ecosystems, soils and water to create landscapes where industrial agriculture, smallholders and other rural commerce co-exist with nature* It is important for us to know if we’ve communicated our strategy, achievements and aspirations clearly.
