What is our "Triple Bottom Line"


Local governments are increasingly paying attention to other elements of community development work in order to build healthy communities, realizing that they cannot foster a strong economy in isolation from social and environmental factors.

One approach to development that addresses these issues is the “triple bottom line”, a method that integrates three dimensions

of performance: social, environmental, and financial.


Under the triple bottom line approach, growth and development should consider not only economic factors, but also social and environmental impacts of any initiative

Riverside's Triple Bottom Line’s 3 sustainability principles of:

  1. Social Responsibility – high quality, safe and inclusive communities with equal access to services, amenities and resources

  2. Economic Prosperity – a healthy and resilient economy that reflects community values and supports local businesses, workforce development, and local investment

  3. Environmental Stewardship – considers the stewardship of water, land and agricultural resources; intelligent development, infrastructure investments and transportation options; and reduces greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint
