That's the problem, really. Numerous companies do unspeakable evil, which makes it very difficult to name and shame any one of them.

Right. Corporations aren't the problem, they're just a symptom of the real problem. Even though they're evil, they're just a product of their environment. The "good" corporations aren't profitable and go out of business.

I don't know if there's a phrase in english for it, but in slovak we say a fish stinks from the head, basically meaning company is whatever the very top managers are like.

We have "a fish rots from the head down", so very similar.

That’s a good idiom, I like it.
