As previously seen on the CSRHub blog

We are excited to announce Ethical Barcode has released a new app that lets you uncover what you're truly supporting when you shop. Scan barcodes quickly at the grocery store, and make an empowered, ethical decision on what to buy. Ethical Barcode is using the newly updated CSRHub Specification for REST Access (CSRA) API to power CSRHub ratings into the app. Use Ethical Barcode to empower your next trip to the grocery store and instantly find out which companies really share your values on child labor, animal testing, deforestation and other ethical issues.

 

The app is already receiving some great reviews at the Google Play store!

Just what I needed! It's now convenient to shop cruelty free. I'm so excited!  KGV
 
This app lets you know how sustainable a product is just by scanning the barcode. It is great helping you do your part to protect our planet!  P Hader

Interested in piping CSRHub ratings into your next app or project? We are happy to help.  The CSRHub Specification for REST Access (CSRA) API offers a simple way for professional-level CSRHub subscribers and partners to request information from the CSRHub database. There are now 105 calls listed in the API, with more than 200 variations. A developer can easily write code that requests CSRHub overall, category or subcategory ratings. Applications can also use the CSRA API to request information about companies, ratings at the overall, category, or subcategory level for any month from December 2008 through the present, average ratings for industries and more.  Check out our newly updated API!
