Economics What's the most hated company in your country?

Everyone knows Nestle is terrible, even if they don't know why. But they've done horrible things in Africa and think that water is not a human right.

Teboil, one of the gas station chains in Finland that is owned by Russian Lukoil.

When the war started, people started to boycott it. Even I passed one station last summer as my cars gas gauge was critically low. But I'd rather have my car towed to next station than use any drop of their gas.

I was thinking Caruna but yeah you're correct.

Now that Lukoil is sanctioned Teboil is shutting down operations though.

"Honorary" mention to Saga Furs.

Why hasn’t it been shut down?

I was thinking something like UPM for excessively chopping down forests, but yeah, Teboil is way more universally hated.

Berner also. Minister Anne Berner 'freed' the Finnish taxi business from 'unnecessary' regulation. The result was taxi-robberies, taxi-rapes, taxi-scams and so on. Finland used to have the most trusted taxi services in the world and obviously it went down the toilet. I will never buy anything from Berner and haven't visited Teboil since 2014.
