Are there any businesses that do anything good?

  There are. The problem is that there are many corrupted businesses and authorities out there, and the ones who are evil usually suck every resource in to be even more powerful. I know genuinely good, small companies which, well, stay small and you don't hear about them, as the bigger something grows, there is more controversy around it. And those small ones just "give back" to the community and get crushed by the ones who don't give back, in the competition.

    Ok well those ones that you like have consultants and auditors

      Not necessarily. And even if they have, I'm talking about the ones that always lobby up the corporate ladder, be close to the government, and fill their own pockets with no actual productivity involved (e.g. Big Four, McKinsey, or any equally enterprise BS). Not talking about small indie non-enterprise consultancy companies who genuinely share their domain knowledge.

  Many. I think that the company I spent the latter 30 years of my career working for (ABB) has left the world better off than if it had not existed. It did have its ups and downs though and benefited from being held to account by competition authorities.

    And they probably had consultants and auditors
