Introduction
With the advent of the 21st century, the world confronted enormous
upheavals – politically, socially, technologically, and from nature
itself. Building upon over 30 years of dealing with the social,
political and economic issues confronting nations, institutions, and
individuals, WPI has a special understanding of how to execute and
implement values and vision to everyday practices and struggles. With
its base of dealing with the poor, policy reform, planning, international
development, leadership training, education and the environment, WPI
is now at a more sophisticated level in delivery and service to
communities, businesses and leaders. Endemic to its practice is the
notion of the Triple Bottom Line (3BL) for companies and
organizations. It can train a workforce of leaders, professionals and
laborers to deal with global change from the dual perspective – from the
perspective of all stakeholders and all providers. WPI continues in its
mission -building leaders and institutions today for tomorrow.
Over the years WPI:
- Provided leadership, management, policy reform and enterprise development opportunities
to create workforces at all levels for the future;
- Built upon a framework of the Triple Bottom Line (3BL) using it as the benchmark for businesses, and
- Integrated resources – financial, human, technological – making them accessible and manageable
in change
In February, 2006, WPI launched a new initiative, CLIMATE CHANGE
and has selected a special team: The Bainbridge International Group (BIG) to lead
this venture. (BIG) . CLIMATE CHANGE responds
to the global changes for businesses – developing a triple model line -
dealing with socially responsible audit systems and key alliances for progress –
both public and private. The BIG team understands the socio-political-economic
risk dynamics for management, instilling integrity in the enterprise and its growth,
as well as its core values.
The Bainbridge International Group (BIG) , develops both vision and
work; ethic and action; accomplishment and effort – a group of
advisors and developers – toolmakers - who balance the public and
the private, the financial and the social, the risk and the
realities, the goals and the operations, assisting in executing
amidst the contradictions and ambiguities of our times. Bainbridge
provides the expertise required for understanding the context and
the new set of rules to globally master meeting the basic needs of
humanity and the poor.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Under the auspices of WPI, The Bainbridge Group serves as the leading
international provider of independent internal Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) and Triple Bottom Line (3BL) consulting services.
Bainbridge helps companies, governments and institutions worldwide
identify, measure, and manage CSR and 3BL issues they face within
their industries, systems and decision-making processes. The group
offers a full spectrum of CSR internal audit and risk services,
technology, and skills for CSR management and measurement. With the
continual transformation of what the public (customers) and shareholders
perceive and want as socially responsible actions, it is critical to
have solid CSR and 3BL controls in place to provide management
teams with decision support and value-added measurement tools.
This practice is headed up by Dr. Jacquie L. Kay, founder and CEO
of WPI Inc.With over 35 years experience in the field, Dr. Kay is
recognized as an expert in leadership development and developing
linkages and partnerships in the public and private sector.She has
worked closely with boards and management of companies to help them
understand the value of socially responsible decisions and move beyond
the traditional financial bottom line to the triple bottom line.
Through Bainbridge, assessments, designs and recommendations at
the policy and execution points for management teams, integrate
CSR and sustainability issues – an integrity is re-established into
the core of the company business and relationships. As with Sarbanes-Oxley,
the consultants help to enforce through innovative management controls,
a CSR component of a decision embedded in the decision-making process.
CLIMATE CHANGE offers objective insights and helps its clients seize
new opportunities for growth and profitability.With globalization,
shareholders, and business leaders themselves demanding higher levels
of social responsibility every year, it is important the companies not
only have CSR controls in place, but also have the tools to measure the
value-add of the socially responsible decision.Moving beyond the financial
bottom line will lead companies to growth and prosperity in markets they
previously had yet to identify. The particular products and services are
listed below.
The Bainbridge Group has professionals based in countries throughout
the world that assist the primary team.It provides on-location
CSR audit services, CSR technologies, and skills to clients,
everywhere in the world.
Specifically, the Bainbridge team can assist in issues relevant to
business, government and society.For example, Bainbridge works
with the concept of Black Economic Enterprise in South Africa to help
build the cadre of leaders needed to conduct business in the New South
Africa; it works with NGO’s in developing strategies to eradicate and
eliminate the infectious diseases ravaging people of the earth; it works
with major corporations in identifying the burning issues of our times
for better decision-making by their managers and professionals; and it
identifies the integration of the Triple Bottom Line for all of us to
have a sustainable life on this earth.
The Triple Bottom Line
What is this triple bottom line? The Triple Bottom Line evolved initially
from the double bottom line, having both financial gain and return, and
social responsibility - an effort for corporations to begin thinking of
the dual goals of business and society. But intertwined with business and
society is the very environment and earth we live in that demands a balance and attention to enable our future.For that reason, a triple bottom line.
Bainbridge seeks to create an environment for the foreseeable future, where from basics, wealth can be attained in our work, our society, and our world.
The Triple Bottom Line, is a part of the bigger agenda… CLIMATE CHANGE
