5. Asda

Asda has been the target of boycotts largely due to its use of single-use plastics and its environmental impact. The company’s take on Brexit has also caused controversy, which included its chairman recently bashing pro-Brexit voters for the resulting labor shortage that has hit Britain.

The British supermarket chain, which was formerly owned by Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT), has also been accused of using zero-hours contracts and other forms of precarious employment, which can make it difficult for workers to earn a stable income and access benefits. Additionally, Asda has faced accusations of poor pay and working conditions, as well as discrimination and harassment in the workplace.
