Some companies are better citizens than others.
However, ascribing a human value such as "caring" to a company is dangerous and ignores hidden motives of an unfeeling machine:
1. you don't know the internal politics and if you did you can't keep up with its changes. That's even difficult to do as an insider.
2. companies are by far and large focused entirely on maximizing something that is frequently adversarial to others (profits, shareholder value) in a time range unknown to us (see point 1).
They might in the short run appear to care, to gain good will in the short term and reap profits later. However as good will becomes less useful to their primary objective, it ceases. Find me a truly "caring" top-2 phone company.
Tldr: companies in the long run are either milking dollars or dead.
