This made me laugh. Businesses are not moral entities. Their purpose is to make money for their owners. If they can make more money acting ‘immorally’, they will, or they’ll be outcompeted by another business that does. They cannot be expected to do anything which will make them less money on their own. They must be thoroughly regulated, and thoroughly inspected, and the regulations must be reviewed frequently because another aspect of businesses is that they will work assiduously to circumvent any regulation.

Businesses are neither evil nor good, because they’re tools. A rock, a knife, a gun, the Death Star - none of these is evil or good. It’s how you use them.

I think not my friend..Every year I spend 8 hours taking classes on acting morally in the business place. It covers everything from Sales and bribes, National laws and personal conduct ..Because we employees..We are the Company and our goal together is to be moral in all our transactions globally.. To be the very best and to be a model for the 21st Century Corporation. Morals are everything.
We are a top ten company in the world and voted twice in a row now as the best company to work for in Silicone Valley. We make lots and lots of money…But the important thing is who and what we stand for..And that includes morality.
It makes me proud to be a small cog of such a forward acting corporation. I’ve worked for some shit companies so it’s like a breathe of fresh air to work for such leadership.
