Seeking ethical corporations list

January 10, 2009 8:35 PM

Where can I find a reliable, up to date list of major corporations, their subsidies and any ethical / legal / political actions (both domestic and otherwise) that they have been involved in?

I've googled this, but I'd like feedback on sites that are known for being reliable and regularly updated. I like being able to make ethical choices in my purchasing, so having this knowledge would be really helpful!

Multinational Monitor has been doing this kind of work for years, and has a pretty good reputation.

I work with Crocodyl.org where professional researchers and activists write extensive profiles of corporations and their records on labor, environment, human rights etc. Crocodyl is a collaborative project instigated by Corpwatch

If you're interested in specific products, you may want to take a look at the Good Guide, which has a growing selection of product reviews and it's a lot more oriented to consumer choices.
