Join Congress in Addressing Sustainable Business

Policymakers, businesses and consumers are working hard to find new ways to balance economic growth and prosperity with long-term sustainability. Companies are looking for creative approaches to strengthening profitability while giving equal attention to social, environmental and broader economic issues.

The Sustainable Business Institute (SBI) was founded in 1995 to provide companies committed to Sustainability a venue for sharing best practices and promoting shared goals. From small main street store fronts to the executive suites of international businesses, an organization's attention to sustainable business practices has an impact upon the bottom-line.

SBI’s Seal of Sustainability™ will soon be the “gold standard” for companies and organizations dedicated to sustainability. The Seal is in the spirit of the Good Housekeeping Award, not an audit or a certification. The Seal is being launched globally. Applications have been received from Europe, China and India.

The Seal of Sustainability™ gives the public a way to be more discerning when they decide what company to support and to know they are contributing to help restore the natural systems supporting all of life on this planet.

You are invited to participate in a unique presentation on the Seal of Sustainability™ before Members of Congress. SBI will provide information on the Seal and how elected officials can participate in this extraordinary program. Four new Seals of Sustainability™ will be awarded during the program: Clover-Stornetta Farms, Seagate, Shaw Carpets and Sonoma County Water Agency.
