There are some shady companies.

Awnings manufacturer.

Touché

There’s the Umbrella Corporation, but I’m not sure you’d call them ethical.

There’s shade under solar panels and enough light to grow certain vegetables.

The kid’s on to something, like Venetian blinds over the house that can be open in Winter and closed in Summer.

Seems like a valid question.

A financial consultant once asked us why we preferred to put some of our money in Green Century, which works mainly with more ethical companies when a “regular” fund would earn us a bit more money. He just didn’t get it.

This arc is based on the premise that corporations engaging in unethical behaviour will be more profitable. However, especially in the long run, that will not necessarily be true if regulatory agencies and especially the media do their jobs properly. Bad publicity is not great for the bottom line.
