If you’re using Starbucks as an example of a “good corporation” your neoliberalism is terminal and reading “Steal This Book” would probably give you several heart attacks.
If you require the simplicity of putting a “good” & “bad” label on things, keep in mind the label will change depending on what you’re comparing. If you are comparing Starbucks to a mom & pop shop hole-in-the-wall diner, Starbucks would get the “bad” label. If you are comparing Starbucks to a company that dumps toxic chemicals into rivers and has massive insecticide spills in India before negotiating 3 figure payouts to families of the dead (Dupont), or a company that discovered #climateChange and kept it secret (#Exxonknew), it’s safe to give Starbucks a “good” label.
The article you posted foolishly relies on company size alone as a good/bad meter.
