Or maybe the answer is not "yes" or "no" but "this isn't really a well-stated question". Without trying to be a Real Philosopher[tm], here's some questions I'll throw back: * how big is your businesses cost to the society? Could it be lower, at expense of your profits? * how expensive is your product for your clients? Could it be cheaper at expense of your profits? The idea of removing profits, or even "attractive" profits feels a bit like a straw man. But there's another idea, that profits can be much lower while still being attractive enough to attract talented, capable people.
