Value in businesses is no longer is determined by the single bottom line of profit. Economic impact now includes such considerations as the adequacy of compensation packages and the contribution of employees outside the workplace. Businesses have a strong influence on the well-being of their employees, neighbors and affected community institutions. Business contributions are key to the effectiveness of nonprofit organizations and government. Business adoption of alternative energy sources and waste minimization provides leadership for government and nonprofit institutions as well as individual residents of a community.

Accounting for the triple bottom line is the new standard of valuing businesses: What is their total community impact?
