Corporations reliably do not care about morality more than they do about their bottom line. If you want to push them into behaving ethically, you need tools that work. Finger-wagging doesn't work. Hurting the bottom line might.
- yardie 7y agoHurting the bottom line just means the workers get shafted (pay cuts or layoffs). Even with a fine shareholders still get their dividends. No, to really drive the point corporate officers need to go to jail.
- piva00 7y agoWhen I hear this argument the way my head translates it is "we need to create a market for morality" which sounds quite absurd...
- rebuilder 7y agoI tend to look at it from the perspective of "what can we do" more than "what is right". While moral values certainly set the direction we should head in, having strong values achieves no good in the world without practical action.
