It's generally foolish to expect multinational corporations to act as if they are motivated by virtue - the incentive structure is just not set up for that.
- FpUser 5y agoWell, small companies do not act virtuous either (with some exceptions of course).
- skohan 5y agoYeah I totally agree. I think there are some small companies which intentionally set themselves up to forward a particular cause, like sustainability for example. Also privately held companies don't have the same accountability structures as public companies, so it can be the case that virtue is a motivator for that individual but for the most part we shouldn't expect virtue from profit-driven companies, and that would very much be the exception rather than the rule.
