Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Ethical Junction?
- Ethical Junction is a members network. Ethical Junction members are organisations that have committed to our core ethical policy. Ethical Junction exists to promote ethical enterprise (both charitable and entrepreneurial) and lifestyle - with the aim to grow ethical practice within society and the economy. Ethical Junction provides platforms to members that can aid their growth within the market - listings in a well known directory site, unique advertising opportunities and press release publishing to name but a few. Ethical Junction is fundamentally a support tool for ethical enterprise.
- Why should an organisation join Ethical Junction?
- Becoming a member of Ethical Junction is a commitment - a commitment to operate according to considered ethics. For an organisation to join Ethical Junction is a public show of their intent to operate in an ethical manner. In return for this commitment Ethical Junction offers members the chance to grow their business through the network - a listing with the website will benefit a members website in many ways, not least presence in Search engine visibility, access to Ethical Pulse and Ethical Ads give members the chance to heighten exposure and inclusion of a listing and their home page within our own internal search engine Ethical Search. Last, but by no means least, a member of Ethical Junction can also use the Ethical Junction logo in their website and other stationary as a way to show their commitment to ethical practice.
- What is Ethical Pulse?
- Ethical Pulse is an online news resource. It is a resource that is populated by Ethical Junction members news - anything that they wish to communicate about their organisation. Stories are posted online and promoted to the public, EJ members, other businesses and journalists via email bulletin, RSS feeds and general traffic to the site. Stories are categorised and some members have committed to keeping blogs. In short, Ethical Pulse provides a unique insight in to the emerging ethical sector.
- What is Ethical Search?
- Ethical Search is a search engine that only yields results from Ethical Junction members homepages and from the entire directory listings within Ethical Junction and news stories from Ethical Pulse. A search plugin tool for Firefox and Internet Explorer is already available, and soon we hope to extend the search database outside of Ethical Junction to further exposure to our member organisations. Anyone using Ethical Search can be sure that their results will come from within the ethical sector - often providing leads in to community that may otherwise be hard to navigate. To ensure that the results are appropriate Ethical Junction members are screened annually and the search engine is updated daily.
