What is the Triple Bottom Line?
The Triple Bottom Line is the metric of busness performance that takes into account People, Plane and Profit. It is the principle upon which the idea of sustainable business is founded. This is captured by Dow Jones in it definition of a sustainable enterprise: "a business approach that creates long-term shareholder value by embracing opportunities and managing risks that derive from economic, environmental and social developments."
