Mission:
To be the local forum where businesses come together to transform and model an economy built on sustainable practices.
We work with local, independently owned businesses that have the autonomy to make any transformational change in their business that they can imagine… reexamining where we buy goods and services, how we consume energy, grow and distribute our food, build homes, and even, how we define success in business. Sustainable Connections is supporting a community of innovators in green building, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, supporting independent businesses in town centers, and mentoring a new breed of entrepreneurs that have designed their business with a sustainable vision.
Core Competencies
As a non-profit network of local, independently owned Whatcom County businesses and supporters, we facilitate sustainable economic development by providing:
Education: Facilitating technical assistance for businesses and government that builds our community’s capacity to participate in the opportunities of a sustainable economy
Connections: Connecting businesses to each other, and to the marketplace
Market Development: Engaging in promotion and market development that opens opportunities for sustainable economy businesses
Guiding Principles
Place-based: We align with the quote – “find your place in the world, dig in, and take responsibility from there.”
We're all on a path: We meet businesses where they are, and help them make progress with specific, measurable solutions.
We lead by example: We say what we’re for, not what we’re against.
Humility: We believe in continuous learning and open minds.
Bias for action: There is not one solution, there are thousands, hundreds of thousands, so we do something well, then something else, then something else....
Make it a better party: People want to be happy.
Convene the right people: We work with decision makers. We also recognize that relationships are what best motivate people to take action.
Be solution oriented: We develop specific, practical solutions that are useful across multiple businesses.
Form powerful partnerships: we recognize that we are one part of the puzzle, and we honor and support powerful partnerships.
Cultivate a can-do attitude: Creative and positive delivery of our solution messages.
Measure results: We frequently ask our members, our participants, and the community whether we are having our intended impact and how to be better.
Create a ripple effect: Good ideas spread fast. We document what we do so that others can take advantage of what we are discovering.
