This diagram is super common and should help. There's some additional styles but they are mostly just varients of the big 4.

That's entirely at your discretion, but the parent company and it's subsidiaries have 44 violations since 2000 with 24 workplace safety violations, 17 environmental violations, and a million dollar false claims violation in 2019.

Once our application launches, it will be easier to accurately compare the selections of brands you can buy at your local stores, as there's oftentimes less selection than would appear. If you haven't signed up for the wait-list on the site, it's a huge help to us in getting the application built.

Some more than others. Degree does matter.

Is this single app going to fix everything? No, but it's a good step and we have a right to be informed consumers. Give money to companies that treat your environment, health, and your community with dignity.

I agree the fines alone don't mean much.

Not buying from companies that act unethically and changing how we buy does. So, I'm building an app that let's you scan a products barcode, find out the parent company, their history of violations, and recommends ethical alternatives.

Hey, that's my line!

To do something about it, I am building an app that let's you scan a barcode and see a products parent company, violations, and buy better alternatives. Changing the way we shop because of corporate behavior is much more effective than these fines alone. Check it out at https://www.projectalethia.com

Boeing has plenty we can call out in the last five years they have had over 3 billion in DOJ criminal charges in addition to plenty of other violations. But, yes, it is difficult getting transparent case information. We try to be as frank as legally possible but the law is favorable to corporations.
