Does their product help people?
Does their product harm people? tobacco, alcohol ect.
Do they use cheap labor (sweat shops) in foreign countries?
Is Cheney or some one named Bush on the board of directors?
Are they (drug companies) lobbying (paying off law makers) to have their vaccines mandatorily given to school girls for STDs that cause cervical cancer?

It depends in what way, and of course on your definition of what is good; big businesses can help stimulate a country's economy, or help promote and distribute a product or service which can make life easier. Production of medicine is also a fine example. But in all these cases it depends on the company's approach: do they ask a cheap price for their service/goods or do they try to make a good buck out of it, by milking the consumer dry?

A more direct method: some businesses invest in things worthwhile, such as a more efficient energy source, or smaller things like restoring/improving the local neighbourhood. Others (or their CEO's) donate to charity funds...
