What about a mobile application that can either scan a barcode (not great) or recognize a label (better), and look up a database that contains the ultimate corporate owner(s) of the manufacturer?
From there, you can annotate the corporation records with various attributes: strike-breakers, general bad labor practices, bad environmental practices, political funding data, manufactured by Bangladeshi child labor, uses artisanally-mined cobalt, etc, etc.
The end user can choose which attributes they care about, and get an alert if the product doesn't fit their purchasing preferences?
