About TBL

The term ‘Triple Bottom-Line’ (TBL), which translates into “People, Planet, Profits,� captures an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organisational (and societal) success – social, environmental and economic.

Through our masthead we personify the term TBL. Essentially, our ‘bottom line’ is a grey bar with a burgundy border which runs through the masthead, at some points overlapping the letters and running under them at others. Here ‘t’ stands for triple and is represented through the three shades of the letter. The ‘b’ stands for bottom and it sits below our grey line with the line going through it – since this magazine is a below the line activity, the two gel in together. The ‘I’ stands for line and the letter sits comfortable on top of the grey ‘bottom’ line.
