Susquehanna Sustainable Business Network

Welcome to SSBN.  We are the Susquehanna Sustainable Business Network, a non-profit network true to the triple bottom line– People, Planet & Profit.  We are local business people, professionals, investors, community members and not-for-profit leaders committed to building a more socially, environmentally, and financially stable economy–a local living economy.

Building a local living economy means that locally owned businesses are strengthened by community support and increase practices and products that support a sustainable economy.  We achieve this this through education, advocacy and networking.  Please join us.

    Has Its Benefits

  • The SSBN Green Pages has been very helpful to my business. It has helped to spread the word about my natural and organic produce. The Green Pages has also been a handy resource for me to give to customers seeking natural products that I do not carry. It all works together for the good!
