The correct answer is: No, it is not reasonable to expect that managers can measure their social and environmental performance on the same level as they measure their financial performance.

Explanation:

To begin with, the concept known as triple bottom line refers exactly to the measuring of the the financial, social and environemental performances from part of an organization. However, it is not posible to measure them in the same way, due to the fact that they are very different terms with different factors. Therefore that in order to measure one of them there will be an unique way of doing it that can not be copy in order to measure the other. That is why if the organization want to measure the financial performance it will look into the numbers but with the social or environmental performance it can not do that.
