Based in Austin, Texas, BusinessEarth tries to show business owners and entrepreneurs that sustainability initiatives can actually make your enterprise more profitable.
The social business does it through three separate but integrated ways. The first is through advising and consulting. They attract both mainstream companies about how they can tap into the tripple bottom line. The second involves the other end of the spectrum, that is, investing in social enterprise start-ups and how they can gain more profits. Lastly, BusinessEarth starts a conversation through sharing best practices through their blog in an effort to create community predominantly in Austin but also through spreading a wider network on the Internet.
