Top Brands Under Boycott | Get the Boycott list
Certain household names continue to be at the center of major boycott campaigns due to their controversial business practices. As of 2024, here are some of the top brands being actively boycotted around the world:
Starbucks Boycott
Starbucks has long been criticized for its labor practices, especially regarding its union-busting tactics in the United States. In 2021, workers in several U.S. locations launched unionization efforts, but the company reportedly retaliated by closing stores, firing employees involved in organizing, and intimidating workers. These actions led to widespread backlash and boycotts, particularly from labor activists.
By 2024, the company has faced over 500 complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), with many alleging violations of worker rights. Starbucks has also been called out for its environmental policies, especially its reliance on single-use plastics, despite promising to reduce its carbon footprint.

Amazon Boycott
Amazon is one of the most boycotted companies globally due to various ethical concerns, from poor labor conditions in its warehouses to privacy issues with its smart devices. In 2024, Amazon’s workforce grew to over 1.6 million employees worldwide, but the company continues to face accusations of overworking and underpaying its staff.
The #MakeAmazonPay campaign, which began in 2020, continues to urge consumers to boycott the retail giant due to its harsh working conditions, tax avoidance, and contribution to environmental degradation. The company’s annual Prime Day sale often sparks renewed calls for boycotts as activists highlight the disparity between CEO pay and worker wages. In 2023, CEO Andy Jassy earned over $200 million, while many warehouse workers struggled to make ends meet with their hourly wages.

McDonalds Boycott
McDonald’s has been boycotted multiple times over issues ranging from animal cruelty to labor violations and environmental harm. The fast-food giant is infamous for its contribution to factory farming, which significantly impacts deforestation and carbon emissions. As of 2024, McDonald’s has over 39,000 locations globally, and while it has promised to address animal welfare and sustainability concerns, many activists claim that progress has been slow. Labor rights groups have also targeted McDonald’s for failing to provide adequate wages and benefits to its workers.
The company’s response to climate change has been scrutinized, with McDonald’s responsible for significant plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key target for environmental activists.

KFC boycott
KFC, one of the largest fast-food chains in the world, has come under fire for animal welfare issues and deforestation. Its parent company, Yum! Brands, has faced criticism for its supply chain, particularly its reliance on palm oil linked to deforestation in Southeast Asia. In 2024, KFC’s chicken suppliers are still being accused of keeping animals in overcrowded and inhumane conditions.
Activists have pushed for boycotts, especially in regions where KFC’s environmental policies are seen as insufficient. Despite KFC’s pledge to move towards sustainable sourcing, reports suggest that only a small percentage of its palm oil and chicken meet ethical standards. Boycotters are demanding more transparency and action from the fast-food giant.

Nando’s Boycott
Nando’s, known for its peri-peri chicken, has been targeted by activists due to concerns over labor practices and environmental impact. While Nando’s has a reputation for being slightly more sustainable than some of its competitors, it has still faced allegations of exploitative labor practices within its supply chain, particularly in the sourcing of its chicken.
As of 2024, Nando’s continues to use significant amounts of palm oil, contributing to deforestation, despite promises to adopt more sustainable practices. Additionally, concerns about the carbon footprint of the meat industry, of which Nando’s is a significant part, have led environmental activists to call for a boycott.

Loblaws Boycott
Canada’s largest food retailer, Loblaws, has been embroiled in controversy over labor disputes, price-fixing scandals, and environmental concerns. In 2017, Loblaws admitted to participating in a bread price-fixing scheme that lasted for over 14 years, leading to widespread public outrage.
As of 2024, labor unions continue to push back against what they claim are low wages and poor working conditions in Loblaws’ supply chain. The company’s failure to address these issues adequately has made it a regular target for boycott campaigns. Additionally, Loblaws’ reliance on plastic packaging and its slow transition to sustainable practices have earned it criticism from environmental groups.

Kellogg’s Boycott
Kellogg’s, one of the world’s leading food manufacturers, became the focus of a major boycott following its 2021 labor strike. Workers across four U.S. states walked off the job to protest the company’s unfair labor practices, particularly the two-tiered wage system that paid newer employees significantly less than their veteran counterparts.
Even though the strike ended in December 2021, labor activists continue to boycott Kellogg’s in 2024, arguing that the company hasn’t done enough to improve working conditions. In addition to labor issues, Kellogg’s has been criticized for the high sugar content in its cereals, which has contributed to the global obesity epidemic, sparking health-related boycotts.

Zara boycott
Zara, the flagship brand of Inditex, has faced repeated boycotts due to its involvement in fast fashion, a sector notorious for environmental damage and exploitative labor practices. Despite pledging to become more sustainable, Zara’s business model still relies on producing vast quantities of clothing at low cost, which promotes overconsumption and leads to massive waste.
In 2024, Zara’s environmental track record remains under scrutiny, with activists pointing to the company’s insufficient efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. Furthermore, Zara has been accused of using suppliers that subject workers to unsafe conditions and poverty wages, particularly in developing countries.

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which advocates for Palestinian rights, has specifically targeted Puma, leading to a global call for consumers to boycott the brand. In 2024, the BDS movement remains strong, with activists urging Puma to end its sponsorship of teams in these areas.

Does Boycotting works?
The power of the boycott lies in its ability to hit companies where it hurts most—their bottom line. Historically, boycotts have proven effective in bringing about corporate and governmental change. In the case of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956), sustained action led to the desegregation of public transportation. More recently, the #DeleteUber campaign in 2017 significantly affected the company’s reputation, causing a 5% dip in market share.
Studies show that companies losing just 1-2% of sales over a sustained period due to boycotts are more likely to adjust policies to appease consumers. Boycotts are not always about instant success; they are about long-term change, public pressure, and shining a spotlight on injustices.
Boycott Campaigns from Past
History is full of boycotts that shifted the course of business and politics. These campaigns show that boycotting can bring about real change. By learning from these historical successes, today’s movements can chart a course toward even greater victories. Here are some famous examples:
