About

The Northwest Triple Bottom Line Chamber of Commerce is cooperatively-owned by its member businesses. We support the advancement of triple bottom line companies in the Northwest in the following ways:

  • Chamber of Commerce Green businesses understand other green businesses. Moreover, green businesses do business with other green businesses. We are all moving in the same direction and so when you are looking to source a new product or service you’re swimming with the stream when you start with nwtbl.org members. Likewise we help each other to gain access to new customers and new markets.
  • Joint Marketing The green economy is on the rise, particularly in the Northwest. The 2008 Seattle Green Festival was attended by twenty thousand people in a mere two days. Business opportunities abound and our joint marketing efforts put them within reach of modest budgets.
  • Fund Raisers We support fund raisers for non-profit organizations and schools with our aggregated product lines. This is a business opportunity for our members; we are not asking you to give away product, services or cash. Members split fund raising revenues with client organizations, nwtbl.org retains a percentage for administration and logistics.
  • E-Commerce Let us help you develop and manage your e-commerce and online order fulfillment infrastructure.
  • Education “People, planet, profit” is not just a marketing slogan. There are accounting practices behind it which are designed to measure an organization’s impact on the world. Our goal is to help our members better understand these practices so that we may all truly become triple bottom line companies.
  • Lobbying Once facet of a triple bottom line orientation is the internationalization of costs or the minimization of externalities. Traditional companies do not necessarily operate in this manner. As companies with a triple bottom line orientation we are not looking for handouts or corporate welfare, we simply want a fair shake, and we’d like our government to do its job to level the playing field and help us get it.

We incorporated as a 501(c)6 not-for-profit organization in September of 2007.
