This corporation has a non-business record that sounds too good to be true.. and usually is too good to be true. They often are a MegaCorp and/or Evil, Inc., but they effectively hide it behind Weasel Words, Names to Trust Immediately, and concepts that sound appealing to the average joe. They frequently hide questionable and often malevolent and ignoble business practices behind general We Care advertising campaigns and fun amenities. These also tend to have Greenwashed Villainy in environmental settings. A Sub-Trope of Villain with Good Publicity, downplayed. See also Corrupt Corporate Executive, who is often at the helm of such a business. Very common in Crapsaccharine World-esque Cyberpunk Vice City settings. If the company is incompetent rather than outright evil (while still masquerading with nice-sounding names), then it also overlaps with Incompetence, Inc.. |

The Goliath Corporation in the Thursday Next series renovates itself as a Peace & Love Incorporated midway through the series, going so far as to even develop a corporate religion. They actually seem to mean it, too, before being bought out by the Toast Marketing Board thanks to a time-traveling saint with a gambling problem. | |

In the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Perfect", the squad encounters a doctor who owns a clinic specializing in hormone treatments to prevent aging and uses the profits to establish a network of charities and self-help organizations dedicated to helping the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. If you've already realized that the whole thing is a Path of Inspiration, you get a cookie. | |

Hexus is described as a living corporate entity, a parasite that eliminates all corporate competition on its host world, "employs" the population and completely devours all of that planet's resources before sending its "logo-spores" to the next world it conquers. | |

Office Space: Initech's management is all about the idea of the employees being one big happy family, and likes orchestrating events like Hawaiian Shirt Day. The employees themselves are miserable, drudged out of their minds, and struggling to deal with the corporation's endless make-work and bureaucracy. Chotchkie's, a Kitschy Themed Restaurant loosely based on TGI Friday's and Applebees, has all its employees wearing wacky outfits where they express themselves with pieces of flair! That is to say, they're mandated to do so as part of the dress code. They even have a minimum requirement, and if you only wear the minimum, the management politely suggests you wear more, or they might demote or fire you. |

The Umbrella Corporation in the Resident Evil franchise is initially this. Their public face as a manufacturer of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer products masks their bioweaponry and genetic engineering divisions. Its slogans seen in several games include "Preserving the health of the people" and "Science for a comfortable life". | |

Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Ministries of Truth, Plenty, Peace, and Love. The four ministries of Oceania are dedicated to the exact opposite: Minitrue is dedicated to propaganda and "correcting" (read: distorting) the truth to make the state seem infallible, Miniplenty creates plenty of weapons and makes plenty of public gestures while being dedicated to economic destruction and rationing resources, Minipax is dedicated to ensuring internal peace via external perpetual warfare to keep the people in a constant state of terror, and Miniluv is dedicated to ensuring that citizens only love Big Brother by wiping out all rival forms of loyalty. | |

Horizon is pretty much the embodiment of a mass media think tank that's like if someone threw Facebook and Disney in a blender (hell, they acquired Disney). They focus heavily on the idea of a unified world and a holistic vision, to the point that their internal company process is guided by a method called "the Consensus", where corporate decisions are based on company-wide votes on everything from favorite snack foods to foreign policy. Of course, this can occasionally tilt very, very bad, like the time the Consensus led to Horizon engaging in a massacre of technomancers in Las Vegas. | |

Vault-Tec from the Fallout series. Examples include such fun things as building faulty survival equipment on purpose, building survival shelters in which the doors wouldn't close or attempts to brainwash vault citizens that end horribly, and stuffing one vault with twice as many people as there was capacity for and then handing out free guns and ammo. All in the name of social experiments. Now, considering these Vaults wouldn't be populated until there was a nuclear war, you might wonder how they were planning to use, or even collect, the results of these experiments. The answer is that their leadership was in cahoots with the Enclave who had the means to survive past the nuclear apocalypse. The original plan was to use the test data in order to build a fleet of spaceships and leave the planet for good. Somewhere along the line the plan was scrapped, since the world ended up even worse off than expected. The fact that that is the explanation is remarkable when you consider that they built bunker doors weighing 13 tons and outfitted the Overseers' offices with machine guns. | |

Buy-N-Large from WALL•E is styled after what would happen if hypothetically a marketing department took over the government but didn't bother changing their public image. They still advertise themselves despite running the human race, which means colorful banners and cheerful relaxed announcers. And like any marketing department they run a ruthless business model preying on the shallower aspects of human nature in order to sell more products. However, any implications of being evil are subverted; they actually do care about humanity. Operation: Cleanup was a genuine attempt to fix the garbage-covered Earth, and lying about it having failed and keeping people happy with Bread and Circuses was simply to keep the masses from rioting over something that couldn't be helped. | |

In reality, its president is using it as a front for his plans to mind-control every Pokémon in the Almia region.

Chivalry of a Failed Knight has the "Ethics Committee", a government organization that is supposed to ensure that Blazers behave ethically. Unfortunately, they're controlled by the Kurogane Clan and are out to revoke Ikki Kurogane's right to be a Blazer for being The Un-Favourite and for undermining the Blazer ranking system. To accomplish this, the committee resorts to all kinds of unethical means, such as creating false charges, poisoning Ikki, wearing down his stamina with a prolonged Kangaroo Court, and setting him up to fight the strongest student in his school when he's already near death. | |

Insuracare in The Incredibles even has the word "care" in its name, but the employees are required to look like they're helping while subtly denying them any assistance, and it's all run by an incredibly greedy man with a total Lack of Empathy — the CEO sees someone getting beaten and mugged outside his window, and all he cares about is not having to pay up. Bob teaches his clients how to navigate Insuracare's corporate maze to get the help they need, disguising his instructions as "Sorry we can't help you" statements, and gets in deep trouble when the CEO realizes what Bob's been doing. | |

Canadian Cotton Clothiers in Slaxx. A parody of American Apparel and other "ethical" clothing brands, they are obsessed with an image of social responsibility, emphasizing fair-trade labor practices and a lack of GMOs in the cotton that goes into their clothing. It's all a sham, of course, as they don't care about anything other than their bottom line, and never actually check if their suppliers follow those guidelines, which is why one of their boutiques is now being haunted by the ghost of a 13-year-old Indian farm laborer who died amidst the brutal working conditions at one of the plantations they got their cotton from. | |

In Severance (2022), the Lumon Corporoation tries its best to come off this way, mainly to its innie/severed floor employees who don't remember their outside lives. Case in point: waffle parties, and the giant museum on the severed floor, dedicated entirely to portraying the entire Eagan family in as wonderful a light as possible for the benefit of making the employees more content to work for them. However, in the real world outside of the company, Lumon does seem to have a controversial reputation (particularly for the "Severance" procedure itself). | |

Portal has Aperture Science: We Do What We Must Because We Can. There, a small cell with a stasis pod and a toilet is a "Relaxation Vault", lethal lasers are called "Thermal Discouragement Beams", and bullet-spraying turrets are marketed towards over-protective parents. GlaDOS herself is the logical conclusion to this trope: a sentient AI, pretending to be friendly, is way creepier than if she were unfeeling. | |

Pretty much any business run by a villain in Atlas Shrugged will be one of these, using political connections and loopholes in the regulations they themselves push for to gain profit and crush their competitors while also making a big public show of how they're in business "for the good of others". James Taggart, the CEO of Taggart Transcontinental, is probably the best at this game. In contrast, the heroic businessmen, while also being motivated by money, make no hypocritical attempts to hide the fact and believe in actually providing quality goods and services to earn it. | |

Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother starts the series working at Altrucell, the world's leading manufacturer of the felt covering for tennis balls. They also do some other things (logging, oil drilling, small arms, tobacco farming, missile construction...), but they mostly publicize the tennis ball thing. | |

Psycho-Pass has a very disturbing variant on this as its central premise, a Peace & Love Incorporated Government, which has integrated itself so much into Japan's society that the Dystopian future it shows may as well be called a Peace & Love Incorporated Japan. Yeah, it's that bad. Crime is virtually non-existent, with the few incidents that do happen being hidden from the public until Episode 14. This is because almost everyone does whatever the Sibyl System, a judicial supercomputer powered by "well-intentioned" sociopathic brains, decides that they should. Almost everything about someone's life, from their career path to their relationships to even their hobbies, is pre-determined by the Sibyl System. Worse than that, most people in Japan don't know about the outside world, nor can they leave it, and everything, up to and including the flow of information, is tightly controlled (it's a rarity for people to even know about William Shakespeare, and jobs like journalism and writing have practically disappeared). The list could go on about how controlled the Dystopia of futuristic Japan is... but nobody cares, because the Sibyl System has made it so that the populace doesn't even know that there's anything wrong. Oh, and if you're unhappy... your Psycho-Pass rating will get worse, and if you are too unhappy with society, you get sent to therapy to accept it. If they can't make you better, Enforcers from the Ministry of Welfare and Public Safety Bureau will simply kill you and try to make sure no one finds out. Despite how dystopian this all sounds, the Sibyl System-controlled society is filled with happy-looking things ranging from cutesy online avatars to police-controlled robots with chibi moe holographic bodies telling you cheerfully to stay happy and ignore anything that could make your Psycho-Pass rating go higher. Is it any wonder that Shogo Makishima wants to destroy the Sibyl System at any cost, even if it means society will collapse? | |
