2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Here's my list that I avoid if and where I can. As with everything, things are nuanced and complex, and it's not like every company I personally boycott is outright bad or good all around. I wasn't going to write down the reasoning for each and every one, but ask away if you want to know about the reasoning behind particular ones. I'll also note, this is 100% not in any order (other than as they came to mind), it was time consuming enough making this vs. ranking them all!

There's probably more I'm missing, I'm a pretty strong believer that companies rule most of the western world and that if individuals want the world to meaningfully improve, we have to vote with our wallets as diligently as we vote at the polling stations.

Apple, Microsoft, Oracle.
Anything made by or connected to Nestle for sure
They have a lot of blood on their hands.
Bayer.
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.
I keep reading everywhere "fuck nestle" and then I see their 2022 FY report with sales increased to 104.95 billion thats 8.4% from.previous year.
So the question now is
WHO'S FUCKING WHO ?

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