Coca Cola, KFC, McDonalds, Nike, Nestle etc

Some of these individual multi-national corporations have more wealth than whole countries. They employ millions of people across the world and have an enormous influence on the economy and even cultures of many countries. Why, even the colour of Santa’s costume was changed from green to red and white because of Coke’s advertising machine.

With this enormous wealth and influence comes enormous responsibility. Pray for mega companies to be environmentally and socially responsible in the way they produce, market and sell their goods; in the way they employ and pay their workers; in the way they shape peoples attitudes in their advertising. Pray for the companies that depend on them and those that must compete with them, that they will get a fair go. Pray also that governments will regulate the powerful companies in such a way as to ensure just practices in the multinational's work environments and dealings.
