FINALLY, A REASON TO TURN YOUR TV BACK ON. Ethical Markets is television’s first national series dedicated to reporting the news, trends, and stories of the companies, organizations, and people worldwide who are redefining success with socially and environmentally responsible practices, investments, and lifestyles. The series takes a positive look at what is possible, with real examples that illustrate the “triple bottom line”; respecting people and the environment while earning a profit.

The series can be seen on select PBS stations around the country, for schedule information please visit Ethical Markets website.


Media Venture Collective and Ethical Markets are teaming up on a new approach may be a good model for other projects. MVC aggregates tax-deductible contributions in support of Ethical Markets, and those funds will be used to buy sponsorship for MVC's projects on the Ethical Markets television show.

This approach potentially creates a virtuous circle wherein Ethical Markets' promotion of MVC to potential donors translates into revenues for EM, and more promotion for MVC.


To donate in support of this project, just follow the instructions at Donate. Be sure to note "MVC / Ethical Markets" on checks.

Media Venture Collective is accepting donations in support of Ethical Markets, and has an agreement with them to apply those donations strategically to that end.
