Abstract
This paper presents a proposed framework for measuring multiple bottom lines (MBLs).
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) advocates argued that to truly measure a company’s achievements, the full impact of their efforts on society and the environment also needed to be computed. It was argued that each area of measurement: financial, social and environmental, is equally as important and should have its own bottom-line calculation to assess the firm’s progress in each area during the evaluation period.
