Check the B Corp certified list. It helps.

My own experience is it can be even worse because then the labor exploitation comes with a side of moral guilt complex. It's not just corporate "we're a family" bs but that plus "we're saving the earth" x1000

I don't know if B corp has to do with the environment, but I know one of the possible benefit of being certified MAYBE guaranteed maternity leave for several months instead of zero like most US companies.

But this is not always the case since the certification is flexible based on a point system.

Still, having SOME basic standard is a step forward... Just a very small step .. like the size of a pebble.
