Nestle? Spectrum? Some random company nobody knows about?
Dutch East India Company - The original corporate raiders.
MASS ATROCITIES!
They are the Bug Bad Evil in my pirate themed DnD campaign. Or a proxy of them at least. What better justification for becoming a pirate than them? To quote a real pirate captain from the 1700, “They rob the poor under cover of law, we plunder the rich under the cover of our own courage.”

It’s still in their code of conduct, though.
Maybe Blackstone, the investment group that seems to own everything
I’m sure there are worse, and it’s not one company, but the companies that provide malware to dictatorships are pretty bad, and western countries are sheltering them/not doing much about them.
Examples:
- NSO Group (Pegasus)
- HackingTeam
- Gamma/Lench/Vilicius (FinFisher)
