Leverage your business voice for change!

Since 2017, the Great Lakes Business Network (GLBN) has served as the leading business voice for Great Lakes protection. Using strategic, solutions-oriented advocacy, the GLBN works to overcome the notion of “business vs. environment” and uplift the narrative that a clean and healthy Great Lakes is essential to the economic prosperity of the Great Lakes region. The GLBN works with members to elevate and leverage support around critical Great Lakes issues through a wide variety of advocacy avenues.
