Better World Shopper (https://betterworldshopper.org/) is an effort worth checking out. It attempts to score companies in various domains along a number of ethics-related axes ("human rights", "the environment", "animal protection", "community involvement", "social justice")

It has some major limitations and is certain to be incomplete/inaccurate in many ways (I think it is basically the result of one person's PhD work and a continuation of that effort afterwards), but, it's still a great starting point to at least understand the broad strokes of which companies have the best/worst track records, and I think something similar scaled up and with a more transparent code/database could do a lot of good in helping to keep track of how organizations are behaving over longer the long run.
