Triple bottom line
Accounting framework / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The triple bottom line (or otherwise noted as TBL or 3BL) is an accounting framework with three parts: social, environmental (or ecological) and economic. Some organizations have adopted the TBL framework to evaluate their performance in a broader perspective to create greater business value.[1] Business writer John Elkington claims to have coined the phrase in 1994.[2][3]
