ugh the merger of the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) and Social Venture Circle (SVC), ASBN rejects short-term thinking narrowly focused on just shareholder value in favor of a capitalism based on creating long-term value and being accountable to all stakeholders: owners, workers, families, community, environment, state, nation, and world.

🚨New blog post: Check out the latest blog to find out what the Senate Ag Committee's Aug. 6 markup means for farmers, businesses, and resilient food systems, written by Liza LaManna, ASBN Manager of Agriculture and Water Policy.

Unresolved: SNAP cost-sharing, pesticide liability, conservation funding cuts, and USDA capacity.
One win: country-of-origin labeling for beef passed.

The committee reconvenes in September, but there's still time to weigh in. Your business voice is crucial. 👇

Who pays to connect AI data centers to Pennsylvania's grid? 🔌

The numbers are staggering: 95% of transmission projects in the PJM region in 2024 were paid for by ratepayers, not the data centers triggering the demand. (Source: Union of Concerned Scientists)

Think about the math: Top AI firms are worth 7x the entire S&P 500 utility sector. Yet, small businesses are the ones footing the bill.

Small businesses don't have:
❌ Massive procurement teams
❌ Long-term energy contracts
❌ Backup generation

The question isn't whether Pennsylvania competes for AI. It's who pays for the grid, and who's at the table when the terms are set.

Our new report shows what Pennsylvania and other states can do about it. 👇

📢 It's here! Our new report, "Energy Affordability for Pennsylvania's Small Businesses," is live.

As AI data centers pour into Pennsylvania, the cost of connecting them to the grid is landing on the people who didn't create the demand — small businesses and families.

The good news: Pennsylvania has better tools than almost any state to fix it. Our report lays them out.

We’re excited to share this new case study by PolicyLink and FSG in partnership with the American Sustainable Business Network, highlighting how Pure Strategies, Inc.built internship and mentorship programs to strengthen the corporate sustainability talent pipeline while expanding access to the field.

This case study is a strong reminder that expanding access to talent and investing in future leaders are core business strategies. Organizations with diverse perspectives are better positioned to identify risks and drive innovation in rapidly evolving markets.

A valuable resource for CEOs and executives looking to operationalize fair workplace strategies in ways that strengthen performance and build long-term trust.
