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 to increase practices and products that support a sustainable economy.  We achieve this through education, advocacy and networking.  Please join us!
