At Net Balance Foundation we believe that the fundamental purpose of business, even small to medium enterprises, is to grow shareholder value by providing goods and services that reflect market and community needs at affordable prices, and reflecting real value that incorporates environmental and social costs and benefits.

We believe that this approach will contribute to stakeholder value creation in business, thereby reducing reputational risk and preserving the license to operate. More importantly, externalising such costs, we also believe, will only contribute to losing competitive advantage over the longer term.

Net Balance Foundation brings together over 25 years of combined sustainability experience within an approach underpinned by a unique sustainability philosophy, passion and business model that will make a difference to industry, government and communities.

Net Balance Foundation draws its resources from the Net Balance Management Group, a for-profit private firm specifically set up to work with business and government in the pursuit of sustainable business.
