The triple bottom line

The triple bottom line 

The three pillars of sustainable consumption are moreover reflected in the so-called triple bottom line, commonly abbreviated as TBL or 3BL. The idea behind the triple bottom line is that companies do not only measure their profit and loss account but also their ‘people’ and ‘planet’ account. By assessing the triple bottom line, companies increasingly turn their attention to their social and environmental performance next to financial growth.
