Thats slightly different, what we are discussing is refusing service for religious reasons, doing good works is a different discussion. Unless part of cadburys good work for example was to refuse to sell someone greedy more choclate bars, which seems unlikely given wholesale ect. Or perhaps they refused business deals with greedy bisnuesses ? (although they sold to Krafts in the end which probably as a business is always looking to get more money, as they should in a capitalist system)

I wouldn't doubt that there are examples but I think they probably get targeted more often as a cover for some people's prejudice's. On the counsellor surely they shoud be expected to counsel couples, not pick and choose what is acceptable, are they allowed to refuse service to those with a huge age gap (because thats kind of wrong) ?
Cadbury's didn't sell to Krafts, they were taken over. Irrc they fought the takeover for months, but eventually Krafts offered the shareholders so much that the Cahirman et al. were basically forced out. It was quite a big story here. Cadburys was known for dealling ethically, and not being wholly product driven (keeping production in the UK, for example).

You asked for an example of a Christian company eschewing modern mores for the sake of traditional morals, and I have given you one.
