Accounting for People and Planet

Triple Bottom Line Accounting (TBLA) is evolving from ‘traditional accountancy practice’ territory to being a business that embodies the change that’s inevitable if humanity is going to overcome the challenges of social and environmental injustice.

At the heart of TBLA’s work is a commitment to the three key aspects of sustainability: people, planet and prosperity.

What is ESG reporting?

The principles of environmental social governance (ESG) reporting, include the following elements for the organisation itself and its supply chain:

environmental performance, e.g. reducing pollution, improving biodiversity, reduced impact on climate change
social impact, e.g. inclusive work practices, employee and director diversity, ethical procurement, community support
governance, e.g. fair and equal pay, executive compensation, employee relations

Benefit your business while becoming a force for environmental and social good

Organisations are taking an increasing interest in the positive and negative environmental and social impacts that they have on the planet and the communities. Two major reasons for this are:

The motivations of the leaders and staff in the business to be a force for good, and
The increasing focus on these matters by wider society creating a demand for goods and services that have a positive impact in these areas.

Consumers and B2B customers are increasingly making purchasing decisions on the basis of environmental and social factors, so it is becoming ever more important to consider these factors in our own organisations.

Why include a narrative or story?

The best way to convince and engage organisations in progressive change is to create a good story
The biggest challenge is to make sure that this is authentic
While we help your business to improve its measures and targets for genuine impact an authentic and inspiring story will naturally follow
