Triple Bottom Line

The terminology "green chemistry" or "sustainable chemistry" is the subject of debate. The expressions are intended to convey the same or very similar meanings, but each has its supporters and detractors, since "green" is vividly evocative but may assume an unintended political connotation, whereas "sustainable" can be paraphrased as "chemistry for a sustainable environment", and may be perceived as a less focused and less incisive description of the discipline. Other terms have been proposed, such as "chemistry for the environment" but this juxtaposition of keywords already embraces many diversified fields involving the environment, and does not capture the economic and social implications of sustainability. The Working Party decided to adopt the term green chemistry for the purpose of this overview. This decision does not imply official IUPAC endorsement for the choice. In fact, the IUPAC Committee on Chemistry and Industry (COCI) favors, and will continue to use sustainable chemistry to describe the discipline.

Intent and content of the Special Topic Issue on Green Chemistry are summarized in the Foreword and Preface.

Triple Bottom Line' @ SustainAbility

Founded in 1987, SustainAbility is the longest established international consultancy dedicated to promoting the business case for sustainable development. Much of their work focuses on environmental strategy and management. As the area evolves, they are helping to define the sustainable development agenda around what they call the "triple bottom line".
