The Triple Bottom Line Policy Framework is a tool to assist decision makers in identifying and applying relevant policies to a decision, and in identifying the broad-range implications of a proposed decision. View the
Triple Bottom Line Policy Framework.
Triple bottom line policy statements
Over 300 individual statements were extracted from existing Council approved policies and plans, and summarized into over 20 Triple Bottom Line Policy themes. We invite you to review the City of Calgary's Policy Library.
These summary statements comprise the Triple Bottom Line Policy Framework, and were adopted by Council in 2006. The Framework was updated in October 2011 to align with new Council policies related to sustainability, the City's 2020 Sustainability Direction, the Municipal Development Plan, and the Calgary Transportation Plan.
Guiding questions that accompany each of the themes areas to help decision-makers reflect on the potential implication of a decision.
The Triple Bottom Line approach is embedded in The City's Corporate initiatives such as business planning, Integrated Risk Management, Envirosystem, and engage!. Triple Bottom Line is used in all aspects of project planning, policy development and decision-making at The City.
