ethipedia.net - Truly Sustainable Business Practices
Launched in May of 2009, “ethipedia” is an online database of concrete practices adopted by organizations seeking to incorporate greater social and environmental responsibility into their operations.
The site was launched by ethiquette Inc, creators of www.ethiquette.ca in partnership with Fondaction, Quebec's labour-sponsored venture capital fund.
ethipedia has already earned early praise from key sustainability experts including Amy Domini, the pioneering ethical investing specialist in the U.S. and the U.K.'s John Elkington, renowned author and Co-Founder of SustainAbility. "For those who want to act, ethipedia showcases the best of current practice, offering key insights into where markets will take us in the coming year and decades," states Elkington.
The goal of this portal is to offer a library of replicable strategies for applying sustainability principles to one's organization. By making this information accessible, this site hopes to accelerate the market shift towards sustainable operations.
This is also a showcase for good strategies implemented worldwide. Business and organization reps, researchers, students and consultants are all invited to submit accounts of best sustainable practices instituted worldwide.
To ensure a high degree of credibility, the site Administrators monitor and vet submitted practices according to a set of concrete social and environmental criteria listed here: http://ethipedia.net/criteria
The site operates as a meritocracy: The more real sustainable practices that an organization can publish to its name on the site, the greater its visibility.
This is very interesting!
