    Well, isn’t there a difference between a ‘company’ and a ‘corporation’, at least in how the words are perceived (corporations being those multinational giants built on exploitation)? I feel like there are plenty of good small and medium sized companies - like the one I work for is medium sized and mainly promotes and researches green technologies (to keep it vague…). Corporations always seem to have plenty of skeletons in the closet.
