The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia (SBN) advances a just, green, and thriving local economy by helping independent, values-driven businesses grow sustainably and lead systemic change.
Through our programs and initiatives, SBN brings the principles of the Triple Bottom Line to life—empowering local businesses to innovate, collaborate, and make measurable impact across Greater Philadelphia. Our work is organized through three interconnected pillars: Environmental Sustainability, Business Growth and Stability, and People, Community, and Prosperity, which together advance a sustainable and thriving regional economy.
SBN strengthens a vibrant, inclusive business community where local entrepreneurs can connect, learn, and thrive. Through peer networks, educational programs, and intentional outreach to historically underrepresented business owners, we help build enterprises that share wealth, uplift communities, and advance economic equity.
SBN champions nature-based solutions, sustainable practices, and policies that protect our region’s environment. From advancing green stormwater infrastructure to supporting businesses committed to climate resilience, we help members reduce their environmental impact while contributing to a healthier, more sustainable Greater Philadelphia.
SBN equips local independent businesses with the tools, resources, and connections they need to grow sustainably. Through mission-aligned financing opportunities, business education, and visibility within a dedicated values-driven network, we help members build strong, resilient, and profitable enterprises that reflect their values.
We amplify the impact of a triple bottom line economy (people, planet, prosperity) by empowering local businesses to ignite systemic change in specific industries and the region’s economy. This is our mission in practice.
Building an Environment Where Local Businesses Thrive
As Greater Philadelphia’s leading advocate for independent and sustainable businesses, SBN works with policymakers to strengthen the region’s just, green economy. Through policy roundtables, collaborative coalitions, and public engagement, we amplify the collective voice of local business leaders who prioritize sustainability, equity, and inclusive economic growth.
