Social Venture Network

It is time to check out Social Venture Network.  Founded in 1987 by Josh Mailman and Wayne Silby, SVN is a nonprofit network that brings together change leaders who are committed to the triple bottom line, people, planet, and profits.  “The idea for SVN came from realizing that there was a generation of people involved in the business community that had progressive social values,” Mailman says. “We decided that it was imperative for us to use our resources to create a new paradigm: one in which business operates to add value to society — without compromising the well-being of future generations.”

As their website states, “SVN believes in a new bottom line for business, one that values healthy communities and the human spirit as well as high returns.”  They have such resources as job listings at sustainable companies, best practices, featured events and conferences, and a great reference 20 Ideas That Changed the Way the World Does Business that we will be profiling here at the Green Wizard at www.ThoughtRocket.com/Blog.

SVN’s mission: to inspire a community of business leaders to build a just economy and sustainable planet.

Right on.
