How to Build a Sustainable Business in Maine
More and more businesses are realizing that the ideas behind sustainable business practices--environmental concern, social responsibility and profitability--aren't just things to be tackled when a business is already successful...instead, they are the building blocks of successful companies.
MEBSR--Maine Businesses for Social Responsibility--has been talking about this "triple-bottom line" for years, helping it's members build successful, sustainable companies right here in Maine. But now, as the mainstream media catches up and even big box stores like Wal-Mart promote their social responsibility, MEBSR needs to take our game to the next level so we can help Maine businesses continue to compete and thrive.
To help us build this better organization, we've been taking the pulse of MEBSR stakeholders. We started with a series of "town hall meetings" where we went to different parts of the state to talk to people face-to-face. Since not all people could make those meetings, our second phase is an online survey on your business.
Who's a MEBSR stakeholder?
- Current and past members
- People interested in sustainability and the "triple-bottom line"
- Start-ups, growing businesses, and giant corporations
- Maine-based business owners and employees
The survey should only take five minutes or less, and the results could lead to an organization better suited to be a "network of Maine businesses working together to achieve sustainable business success."
We look forward to your input, so please take the survey now. Thanks!
