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.

If you look at the other articles published by the author, Deena Shanker, they are pretty much all doom-and-gloom headlines related to plant-based companies:

This does not look like someone objectively trying to sort through the facts and present a representative picture of the state of things.

Just something to consider.
