In fact, I would laugh at my (hypothetical) company ending up in list like this; now the blame will be targeted at a non-natural person completely under control (muhahaha).
It'd be cool to make a bunch of algorithm of how much sins publicly known humans have committed.
It would work like this:
Select EG (1) Sharia law (2) Bible (3) Human rights (4) Pain experienced, shimp-saver style.
Then you get at how much sin they've caused!

Spoiler:
Because humans are evolved to react to violence but not paper leading to violence & Because no established political systems disconnects wealth from political power.
