Description

The SHOP ETHICAL! app gives you the low-down on the environmental and social record of companies behind common brands you buy in Australian supermarkets and beyond. Shop with a clear conscience!

The most comprehensive guide to ethical shopping in Australia, Shop Ethical! has been designed to provide consumers with the easiest way to make informed purchasing decisions.

The Shop Ethical! app provides consumers instant access to over 5,000 products with related company information and lets them make an informed and ethical decision whenever they shop.

By shopping ethically consumers can send a strong message for change and help support the practices that make our world a better place to live in.

The Shop Ethical! app uses the latest data from the Shop Ethical! website (ethical.org.au) and is also available as a book. The Shop Ethical! app has been downloaded thousands of times since 2010, and the Shop Ethical! book has sold over 135,000 copies since 2008.

Company ratings are based on information gathered from over 50 sources including the work of organisations such as Greenpeace, Choose Cruelty Free, WWF, Rank a Brand and Friends of the Earth.

Shop Ethical! is a collaboration between the Ethical Consumer Group and Outware Mobile.

Best app I have, I use it daily and it's changed the way I see the world.

Emma, VIC



Simply, "Thank you." I am so grateful that you have done all the hard work, so that lazy/tired/child-distracted mothers like me can confidently tell their whining 8 year olds "no, we are not buying that, because the people who will get our money hurt other people and/or animals". 
I have always wanted this information but have never had the spare energy to go and find it myself. You have done a brilliant job. Please let me know if you have a panel of testers or proof readers which requires more members, or any other way in which I can contribute to your efforts from home while Miss 8 sleeps. I have been forwarding your "tell a friend" message onto everyone I know who has an iPhone.

AWESOME app!! Thanks guys. I'm a naturopath that tries to educate my patients on the benefits of ethical shopping and living sustainably. Will definitely be recommending this app to my patients. Great work!

Elise, Vic 



Thank you big time for this app!! It's so easy to use at the supermarket and clarifies so many of the issues surrounding products and companies, making the weekly shop fit better with my conscience. My kids are also able to look and see if their favourite things are positive or negative and can make their own ethical shopping decisions. Brilliant!!!

When you find out your baby’s formula is toxic... thank God for this app

Thank you so much for everything you are doing to provide us, the shoppers, with clarity and informed choices. My sister told me to download this app and love how easy it is to use and offer share insights to my friends. I have made plenty of switches, from nappies, to makeup, clothing choices and food products so that I have less D’s E’s F’s in my life and more A’s! 😄 I learn something new almost every time I log on— and particularly love the new updates and extra I info that is continually added. I was so shocked to read that the baby formula I’d been giving my son for almost 9months had an F and bad particles in it. It was recommend to me by the pharmacist! I can’t wait to share with people how bad some of these products can be. I wish that some of the companies that I am into- like Australia’s Grown Alchemist- had a rating, but I understand that this takes time and man power. So please know that you really are changing life’s and helping the earth.

Kindest Regards,
Carley

Brilliant app

This is the app that everyone should be using! It has helped me sort the best practice business from the not-so-best… and has helped me to decide between products that are effectively designed to do the same thing.
One of the most useful things is that ownership of companies is provided, so that I can avoid the hidden ownerships of companies that seem okay on the surface. I also like being able to check if a brand is Australian, ethical, and responsible.
I have recommended this to my friends and clients. It’s a simple to use but incredibly powerful to effect consumer change. If I could, I would give it 6 stars out of 5.

Informed Choices

I use this app before I consider buying anything.
As ordinary people, the only impact we can have to bring about positive change is through our power as consumers. We don’t have the time or resources to evaluate which companies are more ethical so I really appreciate having a quick and easy reference to guide me.
