Description
Free2Work is ground central for the modern-day abolitionist movement on iPhone and iPod Touch. Free2Work promotes transparency by rating a major company or brand based on its efforts to address the issues of forced and child labor through out its supply chain.
With Free2Work, consumers can scan a product’s barcode to see whether a company has effective policies in place to address and remediate for the use of forced or child labor in its supply chain. After extensive evaluation, Free2Work grades companies on a scale of “A” to “F”. Easily browse through the list of various industries to see which companies Free2Work has rated, check out the latest industry relevant news, and learn what labor abuses are most prevalent in each industry. Instantly share this information with your friends through social media. With the Free2Work app you can participate in the research process by scanning a barcode and inputting information about that product which will then be sent to the research team and used in the evaluation process. You can also scan products to get fun factoids about that industry: the more you scan, the more you learn!
It’s never too late to start making smart purchasing decisions. Ensure the products that you buy each day are not perpetuating forced and child labor.
Free2Work was created by the Not For Sale Campaign - a 501(c)(3) non-profit - and supported by the International Labor Rights Forum. The Not For Sale Campaign is working to equip and mobilize smart activists to deploy innovative solutions to re-abolish slavery in our own backyards and across the globe. NFSC has developed an extensive network in the US and around the world of people dedicated to ending forced labor.

Great improvements in new version
Bugs worked out; cool interface; love the browsing section, being able to sort by name or grade, and breakdown of categories of grades per company. Looking forward to seeing more and more company ratings!
An App to fight Slavery
Free2Work is a one of a kind app that gives us, the consumer, easily accessible information around forced labor and worker exploitation on many of the products that we buy. Hopefully F2W will change not only our consumptive habits, but will contribute to more responsibility and transparency among global companies and manufactures.

Absolutely love this app. Gives you information right when you need it -when you are shopping. Love the industry news and the ability to share with my friends what I bought and the grade on it!
