> I remain surprised and somewhat dismayed that many people still believe any company has the best interest of the public anywhere on their priority list. This is a bizarre meme. Companies do have lots of reasons to care what people think about them. Being socially responsible is good business in terms of brand, attracting and retaining talent, from a consumer perspective, employee engagement and beating out the competition. If customers start switching from your company to another one that is more socially responsible, that can only be bad for business.
