Their habit of using illegally harvested wood is a good reason to hate them.

Is that true? They make a big show of their environmentalism. In general, I'm very disappointed at how difficult it is to make informed consumer choices with respect to the environment. Maybe the idea is that consumer choices are small potatoes and we should all just pour our energy into campaigning for climate policy?

They've been accused of illegal logging in Romania[0], but they're very secretive about where they get their lumber from.
