Can’t live ethically without it

I don’t want anything I buy to harm another person. That’s why I love this app. It helps turn my values into action - so I know my purchase do not fuel human rights abuses. Thank you for making me make life better for my fellow citizens.

Excellent App easy to use

I love this app it's so easy to use and very helpful if you want to know exactly where your shopping comes from. It's particularly useful for supermarket 'own brands' which obscure their origin. Can't recommend it enough! 5*
