About Sustainable North Carolina
|
|
Sustainable North Carolina (SNC) is accelerating the adoption of principles and practices that optimize economic prosperity, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship throughout our state. Our network of professionals from business, nonprofit and government is generating innovative strategies and tools to help North Carolina prosper indefinitely.
Founded in 1998 as a 501c3 (then known as Save Our State), we started as a moderate voice working with the business community, policymakers, farmers, environmental groups and concerned citizens to develop practical solutions to environmental issues.
Our Goals:
- Increase understanding and adoption of sustainability as a strategic framework for organizations, with a focus on the opportunities presented by innovative products, services and business models
- Establish the "triple bottom line" as a widely accepted guiding principle for North Carolina’s future by business and civic leaders
- Enable the implementation of sustainable principles and practices by North Carolina organizations with practical tools and resources
