The Triple Bottom Line, Does it All Add Up?: Assessing the Sustainability of Business and CSRAdrian Henriques, Julie Richardson Earthscan, 2004 - 186 páginas The concept of the "triple bottom line" (TBL) -- the idea that business activity can simultaneously deliver financial, social and environmental benefits -- was introduced in the early 1990s. A decade on, "The Triple Bottom Line: Does It All Add Up?" brings together the world's leading experts on corporate responsibility to assess the implications, benefits and limitations of the TBL. This collection provides a review of what has already been achieved in stimulating change in corporate culture and bringing businesses to appreciation of the importance and benefits of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and good environmental performance. It further explores the conceptual and practical limits of the metaphor of the TBL and sets out what can be achieved through regulation and legislation, presenting detailed professional procedures for environmental accounting and management and social auditing. The contributors' wealth of experience and insight provides a vivid picture of how much attention is now being focused by business on delivering more than just financial targets, and they clearly outline the necessary steps for successfully continuing along this trajectory.
