For some definitions of ethical, as in ethical = Unethical.
I live in an area with TERRIBE cell reception, despite being urban. We have parts of streets that are actual dead spots. The reason? Every time there's an attempt to put up a cell tower anywhere within a few miles, a 'committee of concerned citizens' blocks it, and have been doing so for years.
It has an official sounding name, something like 'citizens of <our location.> The thing is, it has 2 members. Two no-life sad sacks making a fuss, and working the local government system, is all it takes to keep us in an area of shitty signals.
Any time I see a company with awards, I assume most of them are paid for, or worse, given to them by a wing of their own corporation. Hell, look at the award Susan Wojcicki 'won.'
That was a wonderful use of shareholder resources.
They won an award they had to pay for? Basically a meaningless award.
This is pretty standard fare for big companies. I work for a Fortune 250 company and they celebrate the "Most Ethical Company" designation on a weekly basis.

It's why Dodge RAM has won the JD Powers award for the last 30 years. Because they pay for it.

I believe it. I don't pay attention to awards. If I am going to buy a vehicle (or anything else) I will buy it based on whether it does what I need.
