The Business Sustainability Roundtable (BSR) is a council of regional governments, businesses, and stakeholders with a shared purpose: bring together leaders from government, business, and academia to collaborate on key sustainability and economic development challenges facing the region.
About the BSR
North Carolina’s rapid economic and population growth presents both an extraordinary opportunity and a shared responsibility. The Business Sustainability Roundtable exists to help ensure that growth across the Raleigh-Durham region and the state is supported by resilient infrastructure, reliable access to essential resources, and systems that protect community wellbeing and long-term competitiveness.
By convening leaders from business, government, and the broader community around shared challenges and solutions, BSR works to turn sustainability into a strategic advantage for the region.
Facilitated by Wake County Economic Development and the Greater Raleigh Chamber, the Roundtable is focused on achieving measurable results for both sustainability and business performance. It also fosters strong peer-to-peer connections that encourage learning, leadership, and continuous improvement.
Regional Sustainability Dashboard
Strong regional growth fuels economic opportunity, while also increasing demand on energy, water, and waste systems. This interactive, public-facing platform brings together searchable data on key resource trends. Our goal is to help align leadership, inform coordinated action, and support decisions that strengthen the region’s long-term resilience and competitiveness.
The dashboard is built using publicly available federal, state, and local data, and covers topics like greenhouse gas emissions, energy generation, waste, water, and economic growth. We are especially grateful to SAS for their creative inspiration and technical support in bringing this tool to life.
This is a first-generation release, and a work in progress. We invite you to explore the information and functionality within the dashboard and share your feedback as we continue to refine and expand it. Email the team with your thoughts at bsr@raleighchamber.org with any thoughts or recommendations you would like to share.
