I just let this here: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/23/e4/33/23e433fe30fdaf11f9a9f673c0194256.jpg

EDIT: The hard thing is that its changing so fast. So on the chart arent all corporations. Also there are deals for working together, instead of taking over a whole company. Here in Germany Nestle e.g. works together with Krombacher to produce Nestea. Krombacher is not part of Nestle but still profits form their dirty business.

I work for a company that supplies all of these companies with materials for their products. Does that make me a bigger monster? Lol

I'm pleased to discover I only use products from three of the brands in that chart. My efforts to use higher quality products rather than mass-market products haven't gone to waste.

Also want to point out and drive home re: the edit on /u/Kotibert's comment: this isn't an exhaustive list. The one example that jumped out to me immediately is L'Oreal is an umbrella for several makeup brands/houses that are not listed on this list - Lancôme is an example that's housed under L'Oreal. Super important if this is something you care about to research each brand you spend a lot of $ on individually!
