Local Affiliates

About Local Affiliates

The American Sustainable Business Network collaborates with local affiliates to advance sustainability and equity at both the local and national levels. We champion and advocate alongside partners in over 40 states.

Our Local Affiliates are organizations with a defined regional or place-based focus, committed to fostering advocacy, capacity building, and equitable economic growth in their communities. These affiliates take a hyper-local approach, collaborating across sectors to address economic and environmental challenges within their communities while maintaining strong ties to fellow affiliates and ASBN’s national network.

By partnering with ASBN, local affiliates advance their impact through a unified front without losing autonomy in creating a just and regenerative economy. This collaboration allows affiliates to focus on the unique needs of their communities while contributing to a broader effort that supports systemic change. Together, ASBN and its affiliates elevate the role of sustainable businesses, demonstrating that business leadership is essential to balancing economic success with environmental responsibility and creating lasting positive change.

Are you an organization that engages and educates a cross-sector business community within a specific region or community to advance a sustainable and just economy? Then becoming a Local Affiliate of ASBN is for you!
