Clicked on the overall list. Surprise, surprise: Starbucks is 36/38 for fucking slavery.

I refuse to believe Nestle is number 5. Either the list is so terribly made that it ignores 90% of what makes a company terrible, or the entire thing is a farce that allows a company to look way better than they actually are.

I think it's worth noting that Nestle's chocolates only score 75% despite being number 5. The whole industry is just really terrible. But also, this says nothing about the rest of the company, only about it's chocolate production. And the problem of mega corporations is that any small thing they do wrong is multiplied by a billion, due to their volume of business.
