Walmart, McDonald's, and Chic-Fil-A in the top ten? But I thought SJW's were right and everyone hated those labor-stealing, ultra-wealthy, bourgeoisie bastards?

The entire report was actually pretty interesting, but the list of most ethical brands is hogwash.

Lot of Walmart hate here.

#1 private employer in the country.
Raised wages twice in the past two years.
Offer training academies to associates that want a career (not job) in retail.
$1/day college tuition program (associate pays $1)
Usually first company to arrive and offer support during natural disasters (looking at you Katrina).
Leading company regarding sustainability efforts and hiring veterans.

Y’all may hate Walmart associates and going into the store, but by and large Walmart does a good job helping non-skilled workers enter the workforce and own their career. Additionally, they do a great job responding to needs (hunger relief; natural disasters; opioid crisis) than you are giving them credit for.

I hear you. The default hate for companies as a general matter is laughable.

Walmart? Really?

Obviously 90% of those polls took place right outside of Walmart.

"Excuse me ma'am. We're takin' a poll to determine the Top 10 Most Ethical Brands..."

Most common answer: "I din't steal nuffin!"

Second most common: "Wull, I cain't count all the way that high, but I'll take a guess."

I agree. Instead of thanking the largest employer in the country (and one of the most successful in the world), people choose to complain saying, "they should hire fewer workers at a higher pay" as if that solves anything other than turning WalMart into Toys R Us.
