The most unethical companies in the world are...

Post by MachineGhost »

"Unethical" in this case means they have unethical business practices, labor practices, waste management and media reports as determined by Swiss research firm Covalence.
  • Monsanto Co. -- Satan of GMO's and Really Freakin' Toxic Pesticides
  • Halliburton Co. -- Dick "Rainbows and Unicorns" Cheney's former company -- need I say more?
  • Chevron Corp. -- Environmental issues, tax evasion, killing peaceful protestors
  • Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. -- Immorally acquires mining rights
  • Philip Morris International Inc. -- Concealing dangers of smoking

Let's not forget the most unethical one of all..the Gov't.

Yes, not a corporation, but anti-corporation trains of thought usually lead to the gov't as an alternative.

Not surprising, since Nestle is a Swiss company… ;)
