Triple Bottom Line (TBL or 3BL) was coined as a wide and inspiring
approach for businesses aimed at understanding how to create, track
and manage economic, social, and environmental value added. The
sustainability sector is strongly increasing its relevance among
academics and practitioners, and the market opportunities
associated with the Sustainable Development Goals are estimated in
over $ 12 trillion per year by 2030. Although this is a promising
context, a recent article suggested a rethinking of the TBL,
arguing that sustainability goals' value should not be assessed in
terms of profit and loss, but of people wellbeing and planet
health, looking for a societal profit. Technology plays a crucial
role in our society. Respectively, the Agenda 21 and the Paris
Agreement consider technology to be essential in the pursue of the
sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs. Adding to
this, the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital
solution in several field, from the way of working to the way of
buying and consuming. Companies are becoming more aware of the
responsibility they have with the environmental and human context,
and people are looking for a work reflecting their values and
purposes to motive them. This book aims to contribute to the
understanding on the role of technology and its emerging and
innovative solutions in the achievement of a sustainable
development while making profit. It will be of value to
researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields
of strategic management, entrepreneurship, management of technology
and innovation, and sustainable development.
