    Not sure why you are being downvoted. It’s the invisible hand of capitalism that tends to cause evil.

    If the current board of directors chose morality over profit, the shareholders would have an obligation to each other to oust the board and elect people who put profit first above all else.

    If any one CEO tries to put morality over profit, that CEO will be replaced with someone who makes profit-focused decisions.

    It’s all very impersonal as it is just a function of capitalism.

    If governments weren’t all bought and paid for, maybe they could make it less profitable for the company to be evil, which would be the only way to make a change.
