PHENND Fellows: SBN Sustainability Outreach & Engagement Fel
 
 
 
The Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia (SBN) is a membership-based nonprofit advancing a just, resilient, and locally rooted economy. For over 25 years, SBN has supported independent businesses committed to aligning profit with purpose through the triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity. In a region where small businesses are the backbone of local communities, SBN provides education, peer learning, partnerships, and advocacy to help businesses grow sustainably while strengthening communities and protecting the environment. Our work is guided by three interconnected pillars: Environmental Sustainability, Business Growth and Stability, and People and Community Prosperity. SBN serves as a trusted regional network of values-driven businesses and community partners, with equity, inclusion, and local impact central to our approach. We focus on expanding access to resources, strengthening representation among BIPOC-, women-, immigrant-, and veteran-owned businesses, and advancing systems that support independent businesses and long-term community well-being. Across all three pillars, SBN delivers programming through four targeted activities: advocacy, education, financial opportunity, and community building. From urban forestry and green stormwater infrastructure to business cohorts, mentorship, and waste reduction initiatives, SBN connects businesses to the tools and networks they need to thrive while creating positive environmental and social impact in Greater Philadelphia.
