Others contend that this is not an op-
erational definition and that the concept
is best defined as “a socio-ecological
process characterized by ideal-seeking
behavior on the part of its human
component,” which is adapted from the
work of Russell Ackoff and Fred Emery,
among others.
Nevertheless, there are some that
consider the phrase a greenwash oxy-
moron. To many, the concept of growth
and depleting non-renewable resources
are mutually exclusive.
Triple Bottom Line
(TBL or 3BL)
The addition of social and
environmental metrics within full
cost financial reporting. In 1994
John Elkington coins the phrase and
in his 1997 book, Cannibals with
Forks, he elucidates this concept.
“The idea behind the TBL idea was
that business and investors should
measure their performance against
a new set of metrics – capturing
economic, social and environmental
value added – or destroyed – during
the processes of wealth creation.”
He also authored the term 3P for
people, planet profit.
Uptake (Sequestration)
“The addition of a substance
of concern to a reservoir. The uptake of
carbon containing substances,
in particular carbon dioxide, is
often called carbon sequestration,”
says the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change. Most trees
and certain crops such as potatoes,
rice and soybeans, uptake more
CO2 than other plants and crops.
Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC)
VOCs as they relate to environmental
concerns refer to compounds with
high vapor pressures (a vapor at room
temperature and pressure) that can be
potentially harmful and therefore regulated.
VOCs occur naturally but can also be
synthesized. In recent years, the roll of VOCs
in new home or building construction and
their contribution to sick building syndrome
has heighten awareness of indoor air quality.
The Environmental Protection Agency
maintains a list of regulatedVOCs.
ZeroWaste
An approach to the cradle-to-cradle
concept that includes reduction of product
or process waste and consumption, plus
e, repair or
return to the environment.
