Anything made by or connected to Nestle for sure

They have a lot of blood on their hands.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. Like others said, name companies that deserve business because I don't know how to avoid the ones that don't. Name someone who doesn't go to(off the top of my head without googling): Chick-fil-A, Amazon, Target, Walmart, Kroger, any gas station, Nestle...any giant corpo that owns a dozen others. We can pretend boycotting works so we can feel better about having a moral high ground over other exploited workers or we can massacre the billionaire ruling class.

Boycotting micro$oft till the day I die, OS monopolies (or close to it) shouldn't exist. Plus their OS is mediocre at best.

Ideally every corpo should be boycotted though. But it's quite difficult to boycott some of them (like Google, who likes to live inside every android phone, effectively having a duopoly with Apple, another really shitty company)

This thread has lots of company names without references or explanations.

While " controversy" is probably a solid search term, we could do better by including "why" right in the comments.

I know this isn't really an option for most people but consider dropping Deloitte KPMG and all banks that aren't cooperatives.

Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals

[-] art@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Any company without a strong union.

Boycotts aren't going to kill a company. They are to influence them.

I did boycott ChikFilA when it came out they were supporting homophobic asshats. And once they announced they were dropping those charities, I stopped boycotting.

I use CVS over Walgreens as long as I can get my prescriptions at CVS due to Walgreens stances against women's health. If Walgreens ever cleans up, I would happily use them more often because they are more convenient and inexpensive for me.

I only go to Shell gas stations as a last resort because they blast ads at you while pumping gas.

Did they ever really stop? Honest question, because I've heard it go back and forth a lot

[-] SHamblingSHapes@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

They're still run by evangelical Christians, so I wouldn't expect a Pride month advert campaign coming from them any time soon.

But yes, they stopped donating to a particular group of charities in 2018/2019. Part of the "then they started donating again" claim was timing and tax records, but the actual donation was made before they changed policy and stopped.

Every company here deserves some sort of corporate death penalty where the CEOs face consequences and the company becomes worker owned and operated.

How do I boycott the NSA? Especially as a non citizen!

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

My government gave the NSA the ability to mass-surveil our phone calls in order to stay good friends with the US. I'd surely love to boycott that.

Someone really has a personal gripe on this one ! What's the story?

[-] DannyMac@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I think the main take away is that this applies to most, if not all, publicly traded companies?
