Corporations cannot behave according to common human morality, because they are accountable to different systems. They must create profits simply to continue existing against entropy. But it is not necessary to have the system in which corporations operate so divorced from morality, that's just an abstraction that we have allowed to continue. We don't count things like pollution, destruction of small businesses, resourse depletion, etc. as being unprofitable, even though they certainly are. If the so-called bottom line were redrawn, moral ideas could, in fact, contribute to profit and loss. For example, if every single current shareholder in BP could be held accountable to some degree for the current catastrophe, things might have taken a different course.
