I think that the data presented here is really interesting -- it presents an obvious root cause for decisions and what might be driving those decisions.
However, presenting the data with pie charts isn't really acceptable. 3d pie charts, even less acceptable. And 3d pie charts with gradient shading is worse still. If you want readers to take data-driven articles seriously, please learn even the basics of data visualization and how to best demonstrate the differences in data, and how to further compare the data contained. A side-by-side stacked bar chart would allow viewers to easily compare values relative to each other within the bar chart, and also to visually compare across the 3 companies.
