Triple Bottom Line Reporting workshop
There is a growing trend of governmental agencies and non-profit organizations issuing triple bottom line reports. Ports across the country and world are forming sustainability plans, and beginning to measure and manage sustainability performance as a means to demonstrate accountability. Accountability for environmental, social and economic impacts of a company is increasingly becoming a part of every manager or governmental official's job. However, there is much uncertainty and inconsistency in the field.
Triple bottom line reporting is emerging as an important and necessary part of an organization's disclosure. Two main issues addressed are 1) what a triple bottom line report is and 2) the areas addressed in a triple bottom line report. The first issue involves establishing an understanding of the triple bottom line, a structure for accountability and the fit of triple bottom line reporting with sustainability strategies, plans and actions. The second issue deals with identifying boundaries, a methodology for reporting and development of an understanding of the issues around subject areas in reporting.
This two day workshop will focus on defining triple bottom line (TBL) accounting: a brief discussion of the linkages between sustainability, regulatory compliance and TBL reporting, the frameworks, performance areas and indicators for a TBL report, and examples of TBL reports. Issues of boundaries, drivers, risks, liabilities, and stakeholder issues will be examined using examples from triple bottom line reports and exercises. The class will end by identifying factors for successful implementation of triple bottom line accounting and criteria for the quality of a triple bottom line report.
