# Research On Ethical Companies (Tech)

### Companies With Best 'Overall' Track Record
- HP - Consistently ranked in the top
- Intel
- Nokia
- Fairphone

### Companies With 'Some' Ethical Supply Chain Controls
- Dell
- Microsoft
- Samsung? Not sure they belong here.

### Companies/Products You Should Probably Avoid

- Google Pixel
- Lenovo
- HTC
- Sony
- LG
- Huawei
- Apple (While Apple could go based on scoring from third parties in the 'some' category. I rank them here due to their suggest lobbying against bill on China forced labor )
