At the WNY Sustainable Business Roundtable (SBR), we believe that sustainability is the future of smart business. Our mission is to help our members and the Western New York community get the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to bring sustainability into their daily operations. That’s why we created this blog—a space for businesses of all sizes to access resources that help them thrive while making a positive impact on the environment and society.

Why We Started This Blog

We know sustainability can feel overwhelming at times. Between new regulations, evolving technology, and shifting consumer expectations, it’s easy to get lost in the mix. That’s where SBR comes in. This blog is here to offer clear, actionable advice on how sustainable business practices can benefit your bottom line, your community, and the planet.

SBR is all about community, and this blog will reflect that spirit. We’ll be showcasing the amazing work local businesses are already doing, sharing success stories, and making the business case for sustainability stronger than ever.

For over 10 years, SBR has been helping Western New York businesses overcome sustainability challenges and embrace new opportunities. With our member-driven approach, we’re excited to continue sharing the collective knowledge of our community to help every business thrive.
