An analysis of Target Corp's PAC contributions for the 2023-2024 cycle reveals that a majority (56.97%) of the funds were directed towards Republican candidates. Although Good & Gather is Target's private label brand, these contributions reflect broader corporate political behavior that raises concerns about support for policies that may bolster authoritarian elements.

An investigative report by AP reveals that shrimp supplied to major U.S. brands, including Good & Gather, are linked to dangerous and abusive labor practices in India's shrimp industry. The findings raise serious concerns over the brand’s supply chain ethics and labor rights adherence.

The article outlines Target's dual-channel approach to political contributions, detailing the role of TargetCitizens PAC and the use of general corporate funds.

The article details Target's issue advocacy efforts and lobbying activities alongside its domestic labor practices. While the firm engages actively in influencing public policy to suit corporate interests, it also emphasizes worker benefits such as competitive wages, paid family leave, and flexible scheduling.
