For decades and decades (centuries?), the “bottom line” in business has referred to the last line on the ledger that indicates how much profit a company made, instead of values and ethics. Indeed, industry has a history of oppressing the worker when it can, and mistreating the environment when it’s able. All in the name of profit. You know what they say about “the love of money!” With the advent of the corporation, it has reached a fever-pitch. It’s high time that thought leaders in the business world began to consider two other aspects of the bottom line – making it a triple bottom line. Jan Phillips is just such a thought leader, and recently published a book that indicates that we can do a lot better than we have been. She helps the listener understand how it’s possible in this cutting-edge show, thanks to her many words of wisdom.
