We are a member-led organization. The organization meets twice a year to decide the organization's priorities and to discuss its strategic direction.
The Executive Committee (EC) oversees the management of the US BCSD. The EC is comprised of the Executive Director, the Chairman and other such representatives of member businesses selected by the Chairman, each of whom serves at the pleasure of the US BCSD. The EC has and may exercise all of the powers of the US BCSD in the oversight of the management of the business and affairs of the US BCSD, including financial matters. The EC meets on periodic basis to discuss the operational issues of the US BCSD. Representatives of any member business may attend EC meetings. The EC will keep a written record of all actions taken by it and will make the record available to member businesses.

The US BCSD is supported by member dues, project funding, and through the Foundation for Sustainable Development; a non-profit corporation dedicated to charitable and educational promotion of sustainable development. Members formally meet twice each year to discuss projects and guide US BCSD direction. Member companies appoint a senior executive to represent them at the US BCSD's meetings and to serve as their main contact. Members elect a five-person Board of Directors that oversees the activities of the executive director. The executive director is responsible for daily management of the US BCSD, including projects, budgets and partners.
