Mindfulness and the Triple Bottom Line

Thousands of companies worldwide have been achieving greater and more sustained success by adding social and environmental impacts to their profit bottom line. 

The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) focuses on people, the planet, and profit as measured by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. These standards are an effective external way for organizations to become healthier and more successful over the long term.

By integrating Mindfulness Meditation with the TBL and GRI practices and metrics, organizations are better positioned to be healthier and more successful from the inside out. The benefits to companies that implement these practices?

  • Sustained increased financial returns, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement
  • Reduced employee turnover and customer attrition
  • The ability to recruit top talent.

People: Mindfulness and Social Capital

Social capital is defined as “the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively.” In an organizational setting, this means implementing and measuring success in categories such as:

  • Employee relations
  • Health and Safety
  • Human rights (to include privacy)
  • Anti-discrimination
  • Training and Education
  • Community impacts.


In this course, you will select your top social capital topic and will practice bringing it into an organization – aligning it with business drivers and successful outcomes. We also illustrate how by using effective communication, you can expand the definition of your organization’s success and impacts, as well as propose and measure social impact initiatives.

Planet: Mindfulness and Environmental Impact

Environmental metrics vary depending on the type of company and sector. Some examples include: 

  • Pollutants emitted and carbon footprint 
  • Recycling and reuse 
  • Water and energy use
  • Waste reduction 
  • Product impacts.


In this course, you will select your top environmental impact topic and will practice bringing it into an organization – aligning it with business drivers and successful outcomes. We also illustrate how by using effective communication, you can expand the definition of your organization’s success and impacts, as well as propose and measure environmental initiatives  

 Duration: 2.5 hours



Profit: Mindfulness and Financial Sustainability

It is clear that companies want and need financial success. What is less clear is the meaning of financial wellness and sustainability for both individuals and organizations. Is the company performing well, especially compared to their competition? Are the organization’s projects and culture in alignment with its values, purpose, and business drivers? How is the company performing over the long term? Common measures of financial wellness include: 

  • Sales
  • Net profits
  • ROI 
  • Jobs created 
  • Supplier relations.

During this course, you select your most relevant financial sustainability topic and integrate it with best practices in change management and communications. You will learn how to align financial performance with business drivers and organizational values and culture. By doing this, you will understand how you and your organization(s) can expand the definition of success and achieve financial results over the long term.
