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 their communities. Some 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.
- New regulations to disclose sustainability related impacts internationally and within the UK.
- Supply chain demand: Customers that are currently required to disclose the sustainability of their supply chain will be asking you for your ESG impact reports.
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

Carbon Accounting and developing a Net Zero Strategy for Small Businesses (SMEs)
TBLA has partnered with Trace to offer our clients a remarkably user-friendly platform. This tool allows you to measure your greenhouse gas emissions. It facilitates engagement with your employees, enabling you to make a more significant positive impact.
With a combination of new regulations and disclosure standards being enforced on larger organisations, SMEs in their supply chain are more likely to be asked for their carbon reduction plans and reductions to date.
