You Dollar is your vote. Who did you vote for today?

The Sustainable Living Directory Consumer Guide is a searchable database providing information on companies and brands, drawn from existing sources. The information allows evaluation of the social and environmental impact of companies on the earth and our society, and gives insight into the ever-increasing concentration of company and brand ownership.

The Consumer Guide brings measurable and well-documented criteria together into one place, making it easier to be informed. It's a tool to help you discover practical alternatives for more sustainable choices when shopping and see the connections between what you buy and how it makes an impact.

See our Quick-Find buying guide for a list of preferred buys, or follow the links to more detailed assessment information. Check out information on existing standards, labelling of products, or see tips and tools for clues on how to make responsible shopping choices.

The Consumer Guide is specific to Australia and presently focuses on supermarket products. Content will be expanded over time, and developed to allow you to give easy feedback to companies at the click of a button.

Whether you like it or not, you have a tremendous impact on the planet and the people you share it with. Your act of purchasing is a means of social change. Make your dollar count!
