No they aren't. They are mostly amoral. Meaning they aren't inherently moral or immoral. They just act in accordance with their main directive which is to make the largest possible profit while keeping with the letter of the law (mostly).
However, what the left emphasizes and the right often forgets is that they (corporations) aren't just reacting to pressures from the competitors, the public and the law makers. They also exert enormous pressure in all these spheres in the direction that benefits them. Not too rarely to the detriment of the public at large. That's when they can and do sometimes turn evil.
