ABSTRACT
Triple bottom line reporting has been undertaken in various degrees since the 1970’s and communications between companies and users are being recognized as an important addition to the creation of a more complete picture of the impacts of a company in its environment. As a result of growing social pressure on organizations to behave as responsible corporate citizens, corporate social reports provide the vehicle whereby the social and environmental undertakings of the company may be chronicled and assessed. This work was undertaken to evaluate Triple bottom line disclosure on corporate performance (case study of Nigeria breweries Plc. Aba). The survey method of research design was employed to generate the required data. The population of the study was made up of three distinctive groups: Investors, Customers and Management. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Our findings indicated that investors and consumers expressed satisfaction in dealing with firms who disclose their company dealings on all three dimensions- financial, social, and environmental, which leads to greater profitability and in the longer term bring growth and sustainability to the corporation. Also, Management were positive of triple bottom line report lessening the chances of causing harm to organizations resources. Based on this, it was recommended that companies should disclose more quantifiable triple bottom line indicators encompassing social, environmental and economic performance indicators. And also, they should embark on such activities that will directly impact on the wellbeing of those in their community. The development of standards to guide companies in the identification of variables for disclosure is also suggested
