Most wanted: Corporate human rights violators of 2005.
The full account with what they have done and continue to do is available here, but here's a quick roll-call of shame:
CATERPILLAR
CHEVRON
COCA-COLA
DOW CHEMICAL
DYNCORP/CSC
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
KBR (KELLOGG, BROWN, AND ROOT): A SUBSIDIARY OF HALLIBURTON CORPORATION
LOCKHEED MARTIN
MONSANTO
NESTLÉ USA
PHILIP MORRIS USA and PHILIP MORRIS INTERNATIONAL (a.k.a. the Altria Group Inc.)
PFIZER
SUEZ-LYONNAISE DES EAUX (SLDE)
WAL-MART
I'm guessing the only reason that BP, Exxon, Shell and Tesco aren't on there is because everyone is only too well aware of the enormous damage they are causing.

Thanks for providing the list, no matter how ironic my thanks might sound. I try very hard to purchase with good conscience.
Kellogg as in the cereal? They have a foundation that supports irrigation (e.g.) projects in Africa, AIDS preventions, health for women and children, and all of that. Seems kind of jekyl and hyde.

Kellogg are a part of KBR, subsidiary of Halliburton. Kelloggs are an entirely different company, as far as I'm aware. http://www.kelloggcompany.com
