Yes -
We humanize entities all the time. People often saw that the government of so and so is evil, because of its actions.
If a government can be deemed evil than so can a corporation. Both are groups or associations of people. The individual actions of a person in a group may not be evil or done with malice, but the combined actions of the group can create an evil or malice doing entity.
For instance, the Iraq war. The people who make up America are by and large good people. However, the war which has resulted in deaths of over 30000 civilians, and thousands of troops could be looked as being evil. And, since America purposefully started the war, it could reflect on "America's character", making the country a little more evil in the eyes of many potential terrorists.
The same happens when a Wallmart store kinda forces its way into a town (just a business aspect, but when you humanize the Wallmart entity this action takes on belligerence or rudeness). Then, by price cutting with non-american goods and tough labor practices (no health care and minimum wage), causes a local store to go out of business (seems like a maliceful attack on the small town entity).
