Abstract:

In one embodiment, an information-delivery system includes a first mechanism for identifying an entity for which to gather information and providing identity information in response thereto. A second mechanism employs the identity information to retrieve rating information pertaining to the entity, wherein the scoring information includes quantified information pertaining to one or more measures of performance, and the user's ethical preferences. The rating information includes environmental information, health information, and/or social information. The rating information further includes components that are each associated with a user-configurable weight. The second mechanism includes plural data sources, wherein each data source is associated with a user-configurable data-source weight. This allows a user to scan a product, receive information on its social, environmental, and health performance, all screened through the user's personal preferences.
