<meta content="Triple bottom line (TBL) reporting is a concept that is sweeping across the business sector,
government and NGOs. However, many of the issues faced by consideration of the social in
TBL are very similar to issues faced by social impact assessment (SIA) in its connections
with biophysical environmental impact assessment (EIA) and the financial considerations
associated with projects including economic and fiscal impact assessment, and cost-benefit
analysis. It would appear that the advocates of TBL and the institutions that have adopted
TBL are ignorant of SIA and other forms of impact assessment. The view presented here
is that TBL is a fad that presents little that is new, and that TBL would learn a great deal by
considering the experience of SIA." name="eprints.abstract" />

government and NGOs. However, many of the issues faced by consideration of the social in
TBL are very similar to issues faced by social impact assessment (SIA) in its connections
with biophysical environmental impact assessment (EIA) and the financial considerations
associated with projects including economic and fiscal impact assessment, and cost-benefit
analysis. It would appear that the advocates of TBL and the institutions that have adopted
TBL are ignorant of SIA and other forms of impact assessment. The view presented here
is that TBL is a fad that presents little that is new, and that TBL would learn a great deal by
considering the experience of SIA.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Triple bottomline; sustainability; social impact assessment; environmental management
