A blog with a mission: Helping SMEs to be more sustainable

January 13th, 2010 - 7:29 pm

This weeks recommended website is David Connors blog called: David Coethica’s blog. This is the URL: http://davidcoethica.wordpress.com

I first got came across David while looking for people interested in Sustainability and CSR on Twitter back in the spring of 2009. Since then I have had countless moments where his updates on Twitter and posts on his blog lead me to find some great information on Sustainability and CSR. When he is not on Twitter and writing blog entries David runs a company called Coethica.

But lets give David the chance to describe his blog and what the intention is:
“After spending years engrossed in the formal world of CSR I began to notice something was blatantly missing from the room – smaller businesses. Whilst the corporate world was beginning to take the agenda much more seriously there appeared to be a defeatist attitude that small & medium enterprises (SMEs) were too small, too many and working too hard just to survive.

The blog was set up after I was pushed into writing about Coethica’s journey to help SMEs by a local marketing company to raise our profile as the experts we had become. The main objective is to fight for CSR as a essential business ethos regardless of the size or nature of a business.

In addition to being able to post my own interpretation of wider CSR topics, I want to encourage mainstream entrepreneurs to listen by presenting ‘not-so-Corporate’ Social Responsibility as an exciting opportunity to gain a competitive advantage whilst at the same time benefiting many important environmental & social issues.

2010 will see even more smaller business focused content with case studies, tips, opinion, news and of course the occasional sport related post to remind me of my previous life in football!”

Some of his recent posts include:
