We suggest that tobacco companies, for example, are thought of by many to
have acted irresponsibly at various episodes in their history[8]. Similarly, some industries are considered as essentially benign but when their products are subjected to medical and scientific scrutiny, their beneficence can be called into question. Brewing companies, we suggest, fall into this category (see the references on alcohol effects on health at the conclusion of this article). Other industries are generally thought of as relatively innocent of explicit "sin" (although this is not to suggest that such industries are blameless or intrinsically virtuous). The major UK retailers, for example (and some in particular), have generally been thought of as socially neutral and even possibly socially contributive. However, they have also encouraged car use by building out of town hypermarkets. As a consequence they have arguably disadvantaged poorer and elderly households and damaged the trading prospects of small retailers. Nonetheless, we identify three categories[9] of industry that we presume have different perceptions of legitimacy gap to "close" (see Figure 1)[10].
