We accomplish this by educating and growing a broad base of local, independent businesses and educating policy makers and the public. The Sustainable Business Network cultivates socially and environmentally responsible commerce in the Philadelphia region by providing our membership with assessment, education, advocacy and business development opportunities. SBN works with businesses from startups to older companies who want to create or maintain organizations that respect their employees, value the community and protect the earth. The Sustainable Business Network works with companies who are at many different phases of the sustainable business continuum: startups up to approximately three years old who want to insure that their business is sustainable from the outset; emerging business that are already sustainable and want to continue to find ways to deepen their contribution to the community; and successful legacy businesses with little or no socially and environmentally responsible efforts that seek the optimal path to make those changes. How does SBN differ from other business and environmental organizations? Although the Sustainable Business Network is not a consulting agency, the organization provides tools for local businesses who want to move in a more sustainable direction. SBN can bring to light many ways for companies to become more involved in the sustainability movement and move toward the goal of creating a sustainable economy. How do you know that the companies in this directory are sustainable busi nesses? SBN member companies are required to benchmark their social and environmental practices by completing the B Survey within one year of joining SBN. After a year of research, SBN determined that the B Corporation Survey is the best tool on the market to measure the social and environmental impact of small businesses. Furthermore, SBN member companies must be locally-owned and independently held. SBN is the only organization on Philadelphia’s business scene that brings leaders together who actively support each other in generating profit while advocating for employee and business practices that are fair and just, support their local community, and protect the earth. 4 SBN Activities Educational Programming Skills-building programs and mentoring for existing and future entrepreneurs; educational events open to the public focused on topics related to sustainable business practices; seminars to educate business owners and concerned consumers about sustainable business and consumption practices; and networking opportunities for doing business locally.

Joining SBN was one of the best decisions I made in 2009!” —Betsy Spivak, Betsy Spivak Insurance Services “Being an SBN member has provided Bennett Compost with opportunities and exposure that I did not have before joining. They have been a great resource for us as we strive to make wide scale composting a reality.” —Tim Bennett, Bennett Compost “SBN puts a new spin on an ancient wisdom. Bring together liked minded/hearted people and miracles occur! And that is just what happens at the Annual SBN Holiday Party Fundraiser and Crafts Fair. Thank you SBN for putting together, so peacefully, a wonderful event…again.” —Amy Ragsdale, Amy Ragsdale Design “JEVS Human Services has been working closely with SBN’s Green Economy Department to develop employer roundtables that will inform job training organizations about careers in the green economy. We are proud to partner with SBN on this work and look forward to the year ahead.” —Joe Cipolla, JEVS Human Services 106 “For the past year, the Federation of Neighborhood Centers, a network of 12 community centers, has partnered with SBN’s Green Economy Department to design an innovative green job training program for low-skilled job seekers. This hard-working department has provided critical expertise with respect to identifying and building partnerships with both trainers and employers in emerging industries. Their tireless efforts helped us build a neighborhood-based green job readiness program that we will launch in January 2010.” —Diane Cornman-Levy, Federation of Neighborhood Centers “SBN’s Green Economy Department keeps me connected with the important issues in the Green Jobs Movement. Thanks for doing this work and keeping us informed.” —Barbara Rahke, Philaposh “It is great that SBN is looking for business opportunities for member companies. We have found our membership to be extremely beneficial, and as our company continues growing, we plan to support SBN as much as we can.” —Paul D. Spiegel, Practical Energy Solutions “In the short time that we have been SBN members many doors have opened for us, including a feature article in the March issue of GRID.” —Tyra Hodges, Tymel Style 107 Over the past eight years, the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia has become a national leader in the local business movement and an influential force in the green economy.
