Current Boycotts:
Nestle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé_boycott
Proctor and Gamble - unnecessary animal testing
see http://www.boycottpandg.co.uk/

Past Boycotts:
Pepsi - for having bottling factories in Myanmar (Burma)
Kraft - were owned by Phillip Morris, so I needn't say more
Loblaws - owned E.B. Eddy, a primary clear-cutter in Temagami

I would list Toyota & Suzuki in my boycotts as they currently operate in Myanmar, but since I don't buy ANY cars, I don't think that counts. And I try to avoid Walmart for their anti-union activities and unethical business practices.

Buycotts:
Hershey - For funding the Milton Hershey School

TD Bank - I do my banking with TD in part due to Corporate Knights ranking them as the most ethical bank in Canada in terms of diversity, environmental programs, community support, etc.
Also I try to buy electronics from the companies at the top of this list and avoid those at the bottom:
