Covalence SA ranks 581 businesses based on how ethical they are

Covalence SA » Across Sectors

Interesting notes:

Wal-Mart is in the top 50, ranked ahead of Boeing.
Yum! Brands, which is responsible for abusing Imokalee workers in Florida, is in the top 100.

Unsurprising things:
Most of the top companies are technology companies
Halliburton is second to last.

Well, yeah, Wal-Mart's biggest offense is paying its employees in granules of dirt. Everything else, they're pretty clean about.

Here's a weird thing: News Corp is one of the top-ranked media companies on the list. Granted, they're at 255, halfway down the whole thing, but still.
Viacom: 466. Ha.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^General Electric, which owns NBC, is number 7, so NewsCorp is hardly the top. -CSM

^^I said one of, man.
Now that you mention it, though; are all of the Time Warner companies on that list independent of each other?

I wouldn't call ea unethical but they are certainly a bad company

wal-mart is ruthless but they don't actually do anything illegal

i didn't actually read the list but Monsanto and debeers are low right because they aren't i'm going to call bribery

edit: ha monsanto is last **** you you bastards. also debeers isn't even on the list

GE and Shell are too high.

I'd guessed Monsanto would be at the bottom, but TG's right about DeBeers - I'd forgotten about them.
