Sustainable Business User Group | BENEFITING THE PUBLIC BY MOTIVATING BUSINESS TOWARD SUSTAINABILITY Founded in 1995, the Sustainable Business Institute (SBI) is a nonpartisan 501c(3) nonprofit organization devoted to helping businesses make steady progress on their roadmap to sustainability. The SBI does this by working as a catalyst on behalf of the public to bring together business leaders and their organizations to initiate, implement and communicate worldwide sustainable business practices. Issued by the SBI, the Seal of Sustainability™ is a nationally recognized icon of business sustainability. It is awarded to businesses that have demonstrated continuous commitment to sustainable business practices in the areas of economy, society and environment. Corporate sustainability is the business practice of improving profitability, competitiveness, and market share while preserving natural resources and ensuring the well-being of all life on this planet. This is important because both private and public business choices enormously impact the quality of life in our communities. The bottom line is that sustainable business practices make good business sense - good for the environment, good for business because corporate sustainability offers a compelling return on investment by driving innovation, managing risk, and improving stakeholder relations.
