Problem
Consumers often struggle to make purchasing decisions that align with their personal values due to a lack of readily available, consolidated information about a company's practices and the ethical implications of their products. This makes it difficult for individuals to support businesses that reflect their concerns regarding social, environmental, and ethical issues.
Solution

By scanning product barcodes or searching for companies within the app, users receive personalized ratings based on their self-defined values across a range of categories, including health, social matters, environmental impact, and corporate transparency. Actaware leverages artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning to analyze data from diverse sources, such as company disclosures, NGO watchdogs, news outlets, and social media, providing users with unbiased and reliable insights. The app distills relevant information, enabling users to avoid products that conflict with their values and support businesses that align with their causes.
