SBN was founded in 1988 as the nation’s first business trade association with a mission of making business a vehicle for social, environmental, and economic change. Since then, SBN and allies have raised the bar for what’s expected from the business community. 

SBN envisions a resilient world economy composed of thousands of inter-connected local economies that benefit the lives of all people and all living things. SBN endeavors to build a successful model in Massachusetts and New England that inspires others to join in growing the sustainable economy movement.

Volunteer activities have included:

• Event support for the Boston Local Food Festival
