“Unmasking Corporate Greed: Discover the 14 Companies That Took Exploitation to New Heights!”
10. De Beers
For decades, De Beers monopolized the global diamond trade, artificially inflating prices by restricting supply. The company also profited from “blood diamonds,” mined in conflict zones under inhumane conditions.
While De Beers has since reformed its practices, its history remains a grim reminder of the power of monopolies in shaping global markets.
11. Monsanto
Monsanto, a major player in agriculture and biotechnology, has been criticized for aggressive litigation against farmers, environmental damage, and the promotion of controversial products like Roundup.
While the company’s innovations have transformed farming, its methods have sparked widespread backlash, especially regarding genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
12. ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil has faced criticism for funding climate change denial campaigns despite internal research confirming the environmental impact of fossil fuels.
The company’s actions delayed global efforts to combat climate change, prioritizing profits over planetary health.
13. Apple
While Apple is celebrated for its innovation, it has faced accusations of exploiting workers in its supply chain, avoiding taxes, and engaging in anti-competitive practices.
The company’s immense success often overshadows its controversies, but critics argue that its focus on profit sometimes comes at a significant human cost.
