[open-sustainability] Online Monitoring Tool for Sustainable Development Goals at national level

Mon Dec 7 15:31:50 UTC 2015

Those both look like interesting projects and the charts are really nice 
even if my German is pretty rusty. I wonder if there is a way to do 
something similar at an individual organisation level? I think that 
influencing who people want to work for could be quite a big lever. It 
would be useful to have a consistent way of measuring the positive (or 
negative) impact of businesses.

We've recently launched https://cleanwebjobs.com and started to promote 
it at the last Cleanweb London meetup. The aim is to try and divert the 
top tech talent away from the shiny startups and into some more noble 
software projects. Currently it's just an email list but I hope that if 
successful it will turn into an open database of employers who are 
making an impact.

Cheers,
James
