Net-Positive Management: A Governance, Risk, and Compliance Meta-Framework

Organizations implementing multiple management-system standards face structural fragmentation: independent scopes, duplicated evidence, and parallel audit cycles that erode strategic coherence and degrade governance into checklist compliance. This whitepaper introduces Net-Positive Management (NPM), a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) meta-framework that integrates existing standards without replacing them. NPM is organized by four structural commitments: a teleological criterion derived from Polman and Winston's Net Positive standard; a logical gate of five ethical invariants grounded in Ellul's ethics of self-limitation and Jonas's ethics of responsibility; a Domain-Driven Design architecture that models governance over stakeholder impact surfaces rather than organizational hierarchies; and a dynamic causal analytics pipeline (DCCA) operating under Pearl's structural causal models and Gama's concept-drift adaptation. The framework produces a traceable chain from strategic purpose through Bounded Contexts, Ethical Performance Indicators, and Behavioral Event Signals to audit evidence. NPM materializes in seven artifacts constituting a Minimum Viable Compliance baseline and eight phases orchestrating their production and continuous verification. The framework is standards-agnostic and jurisdiction-adaptable.
