No, the only thing companies are obligated to do is what they want to do (usually profit), within the boundaries of the law. There’s no obligation to support the environment in which you flourished. A particularly ruthless company might actively work against that environment to prevent competitors. And it’d be fine - use the law to define what a company can or cannot do instead of depending on personal (company) responsibility.
