“It’s starting to be required by stakeholders, investors, employees, potential employees. Everyone is starting to look at the triple bottom line as the new normal for business,” Williams said.

Last year Sustainable Tulsa had 34 companies in its Scor3card program, which has grown to 55 participants currently. The plan is to have 80 by the end of the year.

Since establishing the program in 2016, participating companies have saved more than $2.5 million.

The Scor3card includes more than 150 actions that a company can do to improve its triple bottom line. Those items are divided into seven categories, such as communications, community stewardship, energy, water, transportation, material management and healthy work environment.

“We wanted this not to just be a checklist, but to provide tips to achieve and resource links,” Williams said.

Material management is where the three R’s — reduce, reuse and recycle — comes in to play and where companies can find a lot of savings.

“That’s the tangible things that people can see,” Williams said.
