It's great to see that Exxon is making great strides in being a good corporate citizen... but in the end, they are vested in processing oil. Yum Brands is fast food.... probably with lots of corn-based additives. Should they really be on the list? At some point... we really need to examine what value a companies product is to us (our health, our lifestyle) and to our environment. Of course the contradiction is that its the short-sighted consumer that ultimately drives these companies to continue to produce their products. We may scream for social responsibility of our corporations... but just don't take away our grande latte in the cardboard container and plastic lid.

It would be interesting to see if any companies scored well on one of these categories and not the other.
