What is the triple bottom line and why is it important?
The triple bottom line is an operational structure that takes into consideration the values and consequences of business practices on the planet, people, and profit.
As most organizations grow, environmental sustainability has historically been difficult to integrate into growth models due to a lack of education, infrastructure, industry, and return. With the expansion of environmentalism, it is no longer a grassroots movement but a convergence of consumer demands, international regulations, and climate change.
The triple bottom line guides organizations to respect all stakeholders by considering the social and environmental values of business decisions. Acted out in the free market, many of the organizations that elevate these relationships achieve a greater financial return, a more harmonious culture, and a lasting impact.
