The World's most Unethical Corporations (According to Ethical Consumer)
View this post on Hive: The World's most Unethical Corporations (According to Ethical Consumer)
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
This is a subject I am interested in. Back in the early days of Steemit I wrote this article about unethical food companies you might find interesting.

Wow - 3 yrs ago! Must have been one of the first things written on steem!
I recognise all six. Partly thanks to a great doc called Food Inc.
I was surprised Monsanto wasn't on this list TBH - I might have to go double check.

I will look out for your next article, but I am intrigued how scores are calculated when a category is not applicable to a company and how the bias is adjusted.
No mention of Monsanto here?
I wasn't looking out for Monstanto TBH, you do have a point, and I guess that's a limitation of their method - the more diverse a company the more likely they are to tick negative boxes. It might just be that the oil companies escape the bottom because they don't have to test petrol on animals for example.
I was gonna think all of that through, but maybe save that for next time... it's a massive issue, and i don't know much about the inner workings of their scoring mechanism TBH yet.
It's a start though.
Lol sorry for jumping the gun! It's a pretty reputable publication so I wasn't questioning the validity just impatient for some nuts and bolts that's all :-)

That is one murky rabbit hole to fall down. The scandals are all there for the picking.
Some notable recent things come to mind.
The Co-op bank (the ethical bank) nailed for false accounting practices.
Church of England. Major shareholder in...wait for it.
Wonger the payday loan sharks. Who have since gone bankrupt leaving 1,000's of people with mounting debts.
It's a fascinating area to study and the publication sounds interesting.
I used to read the economist but don't anymore. To depressing. 😖
I like investigating the dark side.
On the co-op - they're still angelz compared to the guys on this list!
Economist - they do some great stuff but yup not an easy read!
