Company articles should contain:

A brief overview of the relevant company, its size, and what it does. This should include a link to the company's Wikipedia page.
A rough appraisal of their attitude towards consumer protection. The exact form of this is not yet established. Feel free to propose some kind of scale on which a company's attitude towards consumer protection can be measured.
A short paragraph for each of the very largest controversies relevant to that entity.
A list or table directing users to the pages covering the controversies and practices that do not belong in the product or product line articles.
A list or table directing users to their product line, service, website and software pages.

Subsidiary companies should have their own pages when they are sufficiently distinct from the main entity (e.g., while Škoda Auto may be a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, it is sufficiently distinct to warrant its own company page). Such relationships should be documented where they exist.

-For companies which are very large, such as Apple or Sony, it may make sense to not have a list of everything they’ve ever done all on their home page, instead linking to their various product lines, which then have the controversy lists. Subsidiary companies should have their own pages when they are sufficiently distinct from the main entity (e.g., while Škoda Auto may be a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, it is sufficiently distinct to warrant its own company page). Such relationships should be documented where they exist.
