triple balance

English translation: with the triple advantages indicated in our memorandum

Spanish term or phrase: triple balance
"Porque hemos puesto en marcha actuaciones que lo demuestran y quedan recogidas en triple balance de nuestra memoria de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa inspirada en los principios rectores y los indicadores recogidos en el Global Reporting Iniciative."
I have found the phrase used with these three items in many places "Económico, Social y Sostenible." I think this is waht the reference is being made to. I just don't see how I can translate the idea.

Explanation:
When writers wax poetic, it really screws things up! Give me a dry, straight-to-the-point technical text anytime! Do you think this re-write adequately conveys the idea?

I don't see the wordplay myself, but you may be right. Even so, wordplay is more a question of style than of information. If you can find an equivalent wordplay in English, fine! Otherwise, just get the idea across!

Asker: This does help - but I think they are making a play on words - 3x balance for "economic social and sustainable"
