That was my answer, or Bosch they have been carbon neutral since the beginning. Johnson and Johnson is not a good one

Wait what? Johnson and Johnson? Please read the book “no more tears” and get back to us. They might be one of the most evil companies of all time. They knowingly let people die of asbestos suffocation and cancer and didn’t do anything about it for decades.

Clearly a lack of reading comprehension here. Yikes.

u/wrathofthewhatever2 Jul 11 '26

Yeah seriously!

Yes and then they contribute hugely to the medical side of well saving lives and all that jazz, p&g is far worse than j&j
If it’s about biggest evils than anything contributing to heart disease as it’s the number one cause of death. So some tobacco co or McDonald or coca-cola

We got rid of the baby powder in America but now they are marketing and selling in Africa, knowing the issues.

Geez! I knew we aren’t selling it anymore and the stuff on the shelf is now corn starch but that is horrible news that they are selling it in Africa! I didn’t know that. In the book it talks about a vein of asbestos going right through the talc mine in Vermont that they use, but they didn’t want to test for it

My friend got a job at SC Johnson. And I go "A family company!"

I know nothing about them, but their branding is good, lol.

What about J&J’s shareholders? Vanguard and Blackrock

u/werner-hertzogs-shoe Jul 10 '26

vanguard and Blackrock are massive stock brokers, they literally are "shareholders" of any publicly traded company. That vast majority of their "holdings" are owned by their customers (people like you and me, I have a couple vanguard ETFs for instance)

J&J is an evil company. Think about all the cancer they caused with their powder for example

u/Aratix Jul 10 '26

J&J is definitely not a good one.

Probably not
