Factbox-From apartheid to Gaza, consumer boycotts have hit major companies over the years

LONDON - HGlobal companies including Anheuser-Busch InBev, Coca-Cola and Target have suffered hits to sales and, in some cases, reputations, after shoppers boycotted their products or services over the years.

* In January, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said several markets in the Middle East and some outside the region experienced a "meaningful business impact" due to the Israel-Hamas conflict as well as "associated misinformation" about the brand. * U.S. retailer Target encountered confrontations between customers and employees, along with incidents of merchandise being thrown on the floor, following the launch of its LGBTQ-themed collection for Pride Month, celebrated in June. In response to the backlash, the company removed the controversial items from all its stores and website just days after the collection’s debut in May 2023.
