MAKING AN IMPACT

ASBN recognizes the private sector's pivotal responsibility in driving the regenerative economy forward. Since 2009, our founding affiliate organization, the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), has been instrumental in catalyzing this shift, and the critical work continues. We believe that businesses have an important role to play in adopting sustainable and regenerative practices but also need empowerment to champion the legislative frameworks necessary for this system to thrive. Thank you for being a part of our community. Join us in leading the way to a just and regenerative economy.

IN THIS ISSUE

NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Greetings Friend,


There are a lot of people shutting down right now. The flurry of executive orders and memos is coming at a dizzying pace, and it’s scary. If you’re reading this, then you aren’t one of those people, and neither are we.


Since the inauguration, I have spent hours a day on calls with state groups, business alliances, coalitions, law firms, CSOs and CEOs. Everyone agrees that dysfunction and division are not normal. Chaos and the undermining of the rule of law are also not normal. They are also not productive, and certainly not the path to a regenerative economy.


Now, more than ever, ASBN needs your voice.


One of the things that makes us unique is our approach to policy. We aren’t in the business of politics, we’re driving policy for business. Our members and their priorities shape where ASBN advocates, defends, and leads. We need your voice to help shape our priorities and show that the sustainable business community is united.


The members of ASBN are not powerless; through collective voice, they are taking action.


We have a number of ways for businesses to engage: steering committees, policy briefs, amplifier opportunities for you to easily advocate on a number of topics, and our member advocacy training and regular updates. Not to mention, for ASBN members, there is a driven and talented staff of topical experts who are available to work with you to increase your knowledge and effectiveness in policy and advocacy.


Join ASBN and take action today. When you’re asked what you did when the sustainable movement was under attack, make sure you can say,  “I got centered and engaged when it mattered most.”

If you have the capacity to lead, we provide a focal point for strategic collaboration. If you need quick, impactful ways to engage, we curate the most effective and accessible actions for you.

A challenge to Texas’ business blacklist law should succeed as a matter of law, according to a filing last month made by the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC) in the latest development in the effort to stop the State of Texas from penalizing businesses that do not invest in unsustainable sources of energy. In a summary judgment motion filed on January 24, ASBC argued that the facts are clear in their case and that the court should determine that SB 13, a law approved in 2021, unconstitutionally harms businesses. The filing additionally requests that the court bar the State of Texas from enforcing the law against financial firms that focus their investments on sustainable energy.


On August 29, 2024, the American Sustainable Business Council (ASBC), acting on behalf of members including Etho Capital and Sphere, challenged the constitutionality of SB 13 for violating the free speech and association rights protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments. The lawsuit filed in the Western District of Texas’ Austin Division contends that SB 13 discriminates against companies that speak out against fossil fuels, including those that use environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) metrics in their investing and business practices. The businesses are being represented by Democracy Forward, Emery Celli Abady Brinckerhoff Ward & Maazel LLP, and Guerrero & Whittle PLLC.


According to the Texas Association of Business, SB 13 has cost the state nearly $700 million in lost economic activity and 3,000 lost full-time jobs, and the law has already caused $270 million in increased costs for banking and financial services. It bars state pension plans and the state’s permanent school fund from investing in–and requires them to divest from– financial companies that “boycott” energy companies. This unconstitutional attack on business is bad for taxpayers, workers, business owners, and pensions.

The Bad

Project 2025: A Blueprint for Deregulation in Action

Despite denying ties to Project 2025, the Trump administration’s actions tell a different story. Just weeks in, two key Project 2025 authors—Russell Vought (OMB) and Brendan Carr (FCC)—were appointed, and nearly two-thirds of Trump’s executive actions mirror its agenda.

Key actions aligning with Project 2025:

  • Deploying the National Guard to the border

  • Suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program

  • Expanding oil and gas drilling in Alaska

  • Exiting the Paris Agreement & ending offshore wind development

  • Reclassifying federal employees for easier dismissal

  • Dismantling federal DEI initiatives

On January 27, the administration halted nearly all federal aidfreezing billions for state programs and sending shockwaves and panic across the country—only to rescind the order by Wednesday of the same week after legal challenges halting the freeze. This chaos is a warning: more rollbacks are likely. We can expect to see restrictions on reproductive healthcare, an end to overtime protections for millions of workers, and further attacks on EPA programs like Safer Choice labeling, DEI initiatives and LGBTQ+ protections in the workplace and beyond.

For sustainable businesses, staying informed is critical. Read more:

Take Action

ICYMI, last week we launched a bold campaign to unite businesses to protect the EPA’s Safer Choice program.


The American Sustainable Business Network (ASBN) has partnered with the Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA), Worldwide Cleaning Industry Association (ISSA), Change Chemistry, the American Cleaning Institute, the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), and the Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition on a letter to demonstrate our united support for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safer Choice program.


More than 400 businesses actively use the Safer Choice labels on their products, while thousands of businesses sell or use Safer Choice products, and nearly 2000 Safer Choice-certified products are currently available.


A copy of the letter will be sent to the EPA on February 7, with around 200 business signees from across the U.S., but it’s not too late! Businesses can still sign the letter on a rolling basis.

GROWING GRASS UPDATES

In conjunction with Other Half Processing, the American Sustainable Business Institute is the grantee and administrative home of the Growing GRASS project. Growing GRASS is a five-year, $35 million project funded by the USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant program, dedicated to improving the beef and buffalo byproduct supply chain. Contact Anna Straus.

National Bison Association conference & CSU Spur's Offal Party

The Growing GRASS team met so many fantastic folks at the National Bison Association conference and CSU Spur's Offal Party in January — and they’re all as excited about byproducts as we are! We love sharing how Growing GRASS is building domestic supply chains for the byproducts of regen-raised beef cattle and bison. Want to snap a selfie with our team (or the giant hand-drawn bison)? Sign up for our newsletter at GGRASS.org to find out when we’re at an event near you!

ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Our newly reformatted engagement opportunities ensure that wherever members are in their advocacy journey, there’s a place for them.


Members can join a policy brief, steering committee, or quarterly call to amplify the collective voice of business and boost their advocacy impact!


Policy Briefs (Formerly called Working Groups)

Members are kept informed with policy updates, expert insights, and engagement opportunities through issue-specific discussions. These meetings provide deeper analysis, helping you stay involved in key policy conversations without requiring extensive policy knowledge. Members have the opportunity to work side by side with our topical experts to expand their knowledge.


Steering Committees

By serving on the Steering Committee, members and partners play a pivotal role in shaping ASBN’s advocacy efforts, amplifying business voices in policy discussions, and fostering a coordinated, action-driven coalition for sustainable business practices. The steering committee is perfect for members who are looking to shape policy initiatives and be in the conversation around impact area strategies and priorities.


Amplifiers

A quarterly cross-issue meeting, amplifying advocacy efforts, spreading awareness, and taking action when possible. This is the perfect opportunity for businesses that want to use their voice and take action but aren’t able to commit large bandwidth to shaping impact strategies.

GRANT & FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute - Due March 18, 2025
