This process is also known as “Environmentally Preferable Purchasing” (EPP), or “Green Purchasing”. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting framework that incorporates three dimensions of performance: economic, or financial; environmental, and social. The generally accepted definition for TBL by Andrew Savitz is that it “captures the essence of sustainability by measuring the impact of an organization’s activities on the world…including both its profitability and shareholders values and its social, human, and environmental capital.” 2.2 Reference Evaluation (Top Ranked Firm) The Project Manager will check references using the following criteria.
