About SVI
Social Venture Institute is the brainchild of the Social Venture Network and is the only organization of its kind to focus on the triple bottom line approach to doing business. Since its inception in 1996, SVI has offered leaders of socially responsible businesses and innovative non-profits, a national forum in which to participate in a "marketplace of ideas." SVI offers participants the unique opportunity to network with established national and regional businesses and to hear firsthand how these innovative companies are "effecting social change and making a positive impact on their community, while also making a profit."
