It doesn't matter if the company itself was directly involved or not, the money came from the company, and from its' customers.
A commonly known US analog is the Chik-Fil-A restaurant chain. They are proudly Christian and got tons of flak for donating to “traditional family” organizations that spread gay hate and so on.
They stopped, but the owner still personally donates. So every dollar you spend there still fuels those hate groups. It just takes a slightly different path.
So the question isn’t “is the company bad,” it’s “what is your money funding?”
I still call it Bigot Chicken to this day. My family who enjoys it is annoyed by me harping on the company's general suckitude.
Too bad.
Yeah gee, shame on you for complicating their fast food gluttony with your ethical sensibility!
