What The United States Business Council Sustainable Development does
Mission
Promotion of sustainable development in the united states.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Materials marketplace: the materials marketplace is a facilitated transaction platform that connects businesses to develop and scale new reuse and recycling market opportunities. The program aims to create a closed-loop, collaborative network of businesses, organizations and entrepreneurs where one organization's hard-to-recycle waste and by- products becomes another organization's raw material. In addition to diverting waste from landfills, these recovery activities generate significant cost savings, energy savings, and create new jobs and business opportunities. In 2017 the us bcsd had marketplace projects underway in austin, texas, ohio, and tennessee.
Water synergy project: since 2012 the us bcsd has worked with 23 diverse companies in the lower mississippi river basin to address a range of water supply, water quality, stormwater and coastal resiliency risks. Companies are working together to address water quality concerns through design of a water quality trading program, and have explored new options for wetlands restoration through changes in water management. Projects and policy recommendations have emerged that have been greeted with high interest by state and local agencies, academia, and ngos. This multi-sector teaming demonstrates that there is considerable regional interest in using the speed and efficiency of market-based institutions to seek out ways of converting water problems into economic opportunities, and to developing a collective capacity for conserving watershed systems as both private and public goods.
Energy efficiency in buildings: the us bcsd and world business council for sustainable development (wbcsd) launched the energy efficiency in buildings houston initiative in 2014 to support the development of ambitious and practical strategies for reducing building energy consumption by 30% or more in the houston market. As of 2017, the initiative has grown into a recognized platform for energy efficiency resources in houston, working on a range of policy, financing, training and education solutions with the houston advanced research center.
Small landowner carbon collaborative project dedicated to helping small landowners unlock the financial and environmental potential of their land through carbon credit programs. Focus on creating opportunities for landowners to generate revenue from carbon sequestration while improving the health of their land and contributing to broader climate action goals.
The 4 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $187k to $213k (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
8% of THE UNITED STATES BUSINESS COUNCIL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 4 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is.
