So far, I've only heard of nation-states committing atrocities whose gov't officials end up in the Hague...

How about companies, whose CEOs and stockholders have a role in committing such large scale crimes who deserve the wall?

Edit: Bonus points if you include a death toll...

From what I've read on wikipedia's Nestle

In a 2018 study, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) estimated that 10,870,000 infants had died between 1960 and 2015 as a result of Nestlé baby formula used by "mothers in [low and middle-income countries] without clean water sources", with deaths peaking at 212,000 in 1981.[47]

Modern, in this context, refers to how companies still exist under the banner they have today like the past

(eg. little changes while merging, no dissolution of the company, and them currently existing, unlike the British East India Company)...

The reason I bring up the British East India Company is though it had a hand later on with regular famines in India, it's surprising that it was nationalized and then dissolved, so I can only wonder which British companies had a hand in overexploiting and causing famines in India from 1880s-1920s, to cause over 100 million deaths...
