Ethical Compass

Everyday purchases carry hidden costs — for the climate, for workers, for animals. Ethical Compass helps you see them before you buy. The app offers 55 buying guides across food, energy, and everyday products, from coffee and seafood to light bulbs and smartphones. Each guide compares types of products — never brands — on ecological impact, labor ethics, and sustainability, with carbon, water, and energy figures and a plain-language verdict: Best Choice, Acceptable Alternative, or Avoid if Possible. Set your values — environment, fair labor, animal welfare, cost, durability — and guides re-rank to match what matters most to you. Scan a product's barcode to jump straight to its guide, or pick a guide yourself. Save choices to My Impact to track your estimated savings over time. Scores are curated estimates for comparing options, not precise scientific claims, and every guide lists its sources. No account, no tracking, no ads, and no in-app purchases.
