Styled in the easy-to-read/find Zagat format, this invaluable resource of US companies and the dirt that they do to their customers (eg: class action lawsuits) or to their employees (eg WalMart) and how they give (or don't give) back to their political parties or their communities. (EG Odwalla, a subsidary of Coca Cola, makes no contributions but supports community projects with a small grant program") and includes snappy listings of over 4000 businesses.
