Ok, for what its worth, if you are unhappy with a companies track record or their practices you have to vote with your cash. In some cases thats much harder to do.
For instance I don't like nikes practice of using sweatshops and I believe that over the years as public pressure is put upon them they respond, but i still don't wear nike. Similarly i don't like Microsoft because when I've worked on windows I found it awkward and ugly so after years of using apple Im pretty much institutionalised, but not a fanboy.
However rather than look just at luxury brands as being evil, companies like nestle are much more sinister in my opinion, in western countries its all about eating healthy (look at their cereals etc) while in developing countries theres pressure to get mothers to use their baby formula instead of breastfeeding, calls of slave labour etc. But avoiding nestlé products is hard, because not everything owned and produced by them is branded as such.
Find out what you can and avoid those companies whose morals and values conflict with your own. Make your own choices, because that what we are able to do as consumers.
