We envision a future where businesses are investors in the quality of life for all citizens. We challenge and support the business community to build profitable enterprises that serve community needs, share wealth, and protect the environment.
We are a diverse group of local independent businesses in the Greater Philadelphia region joined by a common perspective that success is measured on the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit.
Allegra DerengowskiBirchtree Catering“We have been a member for 12 years. SBN is reaching out to us on so many levels–for policy input, business opportunities, funding suggestions–and every event feels unique and important.”
We share the myriad ways members collaborate with each other to grow their business and overcome obstacles.
Rebecca GoldschmidtThe Random Tea Room“When we attend SBN events, we always find good conversation and worthwhile relationships. Being a member has been beneficial. We connected several years ago with a member who carries our products at their cafe.”
We promote the strengths of a local economy and the triple bottom line by highlighting members’ stories of impact, impetus, and inspiration.
Peicha ChangVault + Vine“When I first joined as a new business I found a network of business-owners who thought similarly and wanted to do work with the community and with the world beyond just profit. SBN was the answer I had been looking for.”
