@janl Ethics or Morals? In this modern world there are 3 competing ethical systems. Corporate Ethics, Political Ethics, Individual Human Ethics. Putting Human Ethics aside is exactly what the Corporate Ethical system does all the time in the pursuit of quarterly growth. The Political Ethics system is supposed to keep a check on this for longer term social benefits. But in practice that's been captured by the Corporate system.
@janl Yes, I'm probably messing the pitch by unnecessarily widening the points. In normal speech we use Moral and Ethical interchangeably. We implicitly judge corporations by our own personal moral code. On that basis we can criticise corporates for deliberately refusing to address moral concerns. They should not be allowed to get away with this. But from their POV, they are still following their own system of Business Ethics.
