Yes. The Nestle people make Nescafe, and are responsible for the baby-milk scandal mentioned here:

(Basically, dump free baby-milk in third-world clinics. New mothers use it in insanitary conditions and their babies fall sick. And their own milk dries up, so they have no choice but to buy the expensive baby-formula. Even when they don't have clean water or bottle-sterilising facilities.)
And who can forget the time that Nestle tried to claim £7.3million from the poor Ethiopians? (as 'compensation' for a nationalised firm that they didn't even own at the time it was nationalised.)
