7 Quality Resources for Green Business News

Whether you’re a seasoned professional in the print field, a recent design school graduate, or a career-changer who is starting your own sustainable business, it’s important to stay up-to-date on business news.

Greenerprinter has put together a list of our favorite resources for green business news and insights. These resources can help you follow the headlines, track the latest trends, research green stocks, or find upcoming networking events and trade shows:

B Corp – B Corp posts news from companies that meet comprehensive standards of social and environmental performance. Certified B corporations have legally expanded their corporate responsibilities to include consideration of all stakeholder interests. The B Corp site features an “In the News” section (also available via RSS), a blog titled “the change we seek” and an extensive list of B Corp company profiles. By the way, Greenerprinter has been a Certified B Corporation since August, 2009.

Corporate Social Responsibility Newswire – CSRwire brings you news from member organizations – including non-profits, agencies and academic institutions – that are interested in communicating their corporate citizenship, sustainability practices and socially responsible initiatives to a global audience through CSRwire’s syndication network and News Alerts. Search for the latest news by category, explore the CSRwire news archive or submit your company news after signing up to be a CSRwire member.

Environmental Leader – If you’re on the lookout for business news that focuses on energy and the environment (solar energy, recycling, carbon finance or environmental policy), look no further. This daily trade publication was founded by Paul Nastu, who has over fifteen years’ experience providing industry-specific news to corporate decision makers. In addition to news, Environmental Leader is also a good source for white papers, charts, videos and even green job listings. Finally, keep your business skills sharp by attending one of Environmental Leader’s free sponsored webinars.

GreenBiz.com – In addition to the latest news headlines, GreenBiz.com’s easy-to-use site is organized into categories ranging from energy and climate to small business, marketing and communications, business operations and more. GreenBiz.com, founded as the flagship website of Greener World Media in 2000, is a leading source for news, best practices, opinion and other resources on greening mainstream business. Don’t have time to browse the website? Get GreenBiz news through an RSS feed or an e-newsletter sent directly to your inbox.

SustainableBusiness.com – The staff at SustainableBusiness.com envisions a world where “human activities live in harmony with the earth’s carrying capacity.” Working from that vision, only news stories from content partners that support this goal are featured. In addition to daily news headlines, this site is a great source for sustainable investor news, including green stocks and sustainable investing how-to’s. If you’re running short on time, catch up with a week’s worth of news by listening to the Green Week in Review podcast. Finally, SustainableBusiness.com is an excellent resource for “green dream jobs.”

Sustainable Industries – This well-designed site serves as a multi-media platform that “connects the dots between the environmental and social components of regional economies.” Focus on news from the West Coast and stay up-to-date with national green business news with Sustainable Industries’ comprehensive RSS feeds, white papers, podcasts, Twitter feed and webinars. The Editor’s Pick is a quick way to get an overview of some of today’s most compelling news stories. And don’t miss the events section, which is listed under Connections (Greenerprinter had the pleasure of participating in this year’s Sustainable Industries Economic Forum event!).

Triple Pundit – Triple Pundit serves up news stories for entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs seeking to grow their enterprises’s triple bottom line (people, planet and profit). The site’s blog format is easy to digest, allowing the staff writers and other contributors to delve more deeply into each subject. Recent comments bubble up to the homepage, as do the most popular news stories. Would you rather be part of the sustainable business news beat than just read about it?
