About us

• What does the Sustainable Business Network do?

  We help businesses learn, take action and connect on sustainability. We combine expertise in sustainability with practical solutions to help businesses transform knowledge into action. We’re a network of hundreds of organisations and we’ve been around for 20 years. Find out more.

• What is the benefit of joining the Sustainable Business Network?

  You’ll get heaps of benefits to help you learn, make connections and get recognition for the good you do. You’ll be part of a network, a community and a movement!

  Benefits of joining include access to exclusive free events and networking, discounts on courses and our Advisory service, and a vote at our AGM. Your logo will be featured on our website, you’ll receive a certificate and logo, and you’ll get a free listing on the Circular Economy Directory (if eligible). Find out more.

• How much does it cost to join?

  Annual fees are tiered according to turnover, to make our network affordable whatever your size. They start at $700+GST for small businesses. Find out more.

• What is the difference between joining as an individual and joining as a business?

  Many individual consultants, intrapreneurs and pioneers join SBN. However, because our focus is on business collaboration, the benefits of joining as an organisation are greater than as an individual. For example, we only feature organisations on our website, and only they can display our logo. Individual members are welcome to attend our Impact Investor exclusive events, but do not receive discounts on our other events, courses or Advisory services.

• Does my business have to do anything specific to be accepted to join SBN?

  We welcome all organisations that want to learn and take action on sustainability. We realise that everyone is at a different point on their sustainability journey and there are no barriers to entry, so long as your commitment is genuine. In joining us we encourage you to reduce emissions and waste, and regenerate nature. We’ll provide the tools, resources and training to help!

• What other businesses are part of SBN?

  Our network includes small and medium businesses, corporates, government bodies and councils, not for profits and individuals. We represent a cross section of the whole business community! Check out the organisations in our network.

• When do the Sustainable Business Awards open for entry?

  Entries open in June each year and close in July. Keep an eye on our Awards page for further details or subscribe to our newsletter.
