A New Software Tool for Triple-Bottom-Line Accounting of Economy, Society and Environment

Bottomline³ ("BL-cubed") is a new software package for companies and organisations developed by the University of Sydney, Dipolar Pty Limited and - in the case of the UK - ISA^UK Research & Consulting. Using this software you can create a comprehensive sustainability report based on a thorough Triple-Bottom-Line (TBL) and/or Ecological Footprint account of your organisation. Triple-Bottom-Line accounting routinely covers social, economic and environmental indicators and enables decision-makers to quantify trade-offs between different facets of sustainability.

A software trial of the UK version is available for download here!

The software takes your organisation’s financial accounts, together with on-site impact data, as input. There is no additional data collection effort. The outputs are powerful diagrams and tables forming the backbone of a comprehensive sustainability report. Sector benchmarking, structural path analysis (upstream supply chain analysis), production layer decomposition and quantification of shared responsibility are available for all indicators.

The critical advantage of the Bottomline³ software is that it includes both the direct (on-site, internal, immediate) effects as well as the indirect (off-site, external, upstream) effects associated with a large and distant web of supply paths. Assessment of your organisation’s indirect impacts is critical because it enables meaningful benchmarking, avoids loopholes in reporting and informs about real risk. It also removes boundary problems. You have the capacity to reward and encourage the greening of supply chains and increase your organisation’s attractiveness to customers.
