Surprising to see Google on that list after having been in and out of court for years over mass harvesting and misappropriation of personal data!

I think that Microsoft is an ethical company, personally I have nothing to complain. However, the list itself and institution behind it is clearly just a business with no factual value; if a company like Adobe is on the list, the list can't be taken seriously. Adobe is not ethical, a company who tries everything they can to feed third party software to anyone downloading and installing their products like for instance the McAfee and Chrome / Chrome Toolbar which are offered and by default selected when downloading Flash Player or Adobe Reader and which many consumers do not notice therefore installing them, too.

I'm surprised google is on that list. Their literal policy is to get up to the line of creepy and not cross it.

Nice to see Dell at the top of the hardware list. In another thread I have just praised them for first class computer hardware.
It does look, on the surface, that the survey was biased toward US companies. Maybe the organisation should get out more.
As a Brit, I have to comment. Shame on the British companies for not getting a few more on the top list.Last edited by davehc; 14 Mar 2015 at 05:22.

I don't trust any of them, what is there to trust, their underlying goal is to make money.

The World’s Most Ethical Companies® designation recognizes companies that truly go beyond making statements about doing business “ethically” and translate those words into action. Honorees not only promote ethical business standards and practices internally, they exceed legal compliance minimums and shape future industry standards by introducing best practices today.
Sooo, basically you can't go too wrong using a Dell PC, with Hitachi Harddrives, running Windows, with MS Office and Photoshop installed and using Google search.Oddly enough I'm not too far off that...
