The Triple Bottom Line is an approach to decision making that considers economic, social and environmental issues in a comprehensive, systematic and integrated way.
The Triple Bottom Line has been adopted by many organizations in both the public and private sector. It is a departure from making decisions based solely on the financial bottom-line. It also reflects a greater awareness of the impacts of our decisions on the environment, society and the external economy - and how those impacts are related.
