German term or phrase: Dreiklang der Ziele

This is from a speech to be presented by a spokesman for the consortium operating the German truck toll system (not by a German minister as previously indicated). Literally, a "trio of objectives". Any better ideas?

Mit einem Wort: Flexibilität war und ist vor allem anderen gefragt und damit eine innovative Technologie, die nicht nur in der Lage ist, für verlässliche Einnahmen zu sorgen, sondern auch eine umweltgerechte Qualität und Effizienz des Verkehrssystems zu gewährleisten. Damit ist der Dreiklang der Ziele formuliert: Einnahmen für die Finanzierung von Infrastruktur, Entlastung der Umwelt und besseres Management des zunehmenden Verkehrs.

Ich habe Ihnen zu Beginn versprochen zu begründen, warum nach meiner Überzeugung die satellitengestützte Mauterhebung eine Schlüsseltechnologie zur Bewältigung der genannten Herausforderungen ist und dies auch anhand einiger Leistungsdaten aus dem bisherigen Mautbetrieb zu belegen. Dabei geht es um den erwähnten Dreiklang der Ziele: eine nachhaltige Finanzierung der Instandhaltung und des Ausbaus von Verkehrsinfrastruktur, den Schutz der Umwelt und ein effizienteres Verkehrsmanagement.

Many thanks to all of you. Several proposals would work, but in the end I found David's suggestion most appropriate. Harmony was a key notion in Dreiklang but I found it awkward to fit in.

Donald Scott Alexander: I like "three-fold goal" because it's simple and natural and it suggests that each (sub)goal is "in harmony" with the other (sub)goals -- which provides a kind of echo of "Einklang" ("harmony").

triple objectives

Explanation:
It depends on the target audience, I think. I can say that "trio of objectives" sounds odd to my North American ear, and Google seems to confirm that this is primarily a British usage... so if the audience is North American, I would favor "triple objectives."

triad of objectives

Explanation:
Examples:

"The VET vision and strategic objectives for 2004-2010 with the triad of objectivesin serving business, people, and communities provides an opportunity tostrengthen the VET contribution to social capital in progressing these objectives. There is a fundamental interdependence between progress in these goal areas sothat there is a need to search for policies and strategies that build synergiesbetween action directed at this triad of objectives."

"objectives" instead of "goals" is certainly an option
