Junction Network came in to existence in 1999. The website was intended to serve as portal for all things ethical – from consumers looking for organic compost to ethical businesses looking for finance, Ethical Junction was set up to provide a universal ethical resource to the public.Its constitution as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company, ensures 100% of any profit that is generated by Ethical Junction will be donated annually to causes that promote sustainable living. For the first few years at least, all surpluses will be donated to Action for Sustainable Living which is written into the Community Interest ‘Asset Lock’ as beneficiary of any assets.Income comes exclusively from our members, who are annually screened against our ethically positive criteria. This revenue is in the form of annual membership fees, job adverts and sponsorship of sections of the site. The Co-operative Financial Services (Co-operative Bank, Smile, CIS) have joined forces with Ethical Junction and this will lead to many new opportunities.Ethical Junction is currently undergoing a comprehensive makeover to improve the service to its members and users. This new web site includes EthicalSearch® our screened ethical search engine, enhanced listings, a powerful affiliate hub, a jobs section, a News Room collecting stories from the whole sector and many other new and useful features.Ethical Junction has been around for 7 years now, slowly but surely building a solid and dependable brand - it receives around 35,000 visitors per month and has a Google rating of 7/10. It has helped hundreds of ethical businesses gain a higher profile since it began.

Shared Interest is owned and controlled by it’s membership.
The Society’s Governance involves a Board of Directors, responsible for the direction and management of the Society. Members elect the Directors at the AGM. The Directors report to members each year and answer members’ questions.
There is also a Council, a body which serves to represent the membership. The Council has the power to question the Directors and management and if it sees fit, to address the membership independently. To ensure the Council is a representative body it is comprised of members who have been randomly selected for nomination and members who volunteer for the role. Members elect the Council at the AGM.
Each member has an equal voice and vote, regardless of account size. We take the views of our members seriously and invite comment from the membership through our members newsletter - Quarterly Return, regional meetings and the Annual General Meeting, held in March each year. At the AGM, members also get the opportunity to vote on issues affecting the society.”
