Unfortunately our economic system ends up producing companies that do evil, and promoting people who are evil, just because of its own internal feedbacks. Consider: if you start with 10 companies in a given field, 9 of which are run by decent people with strong ethics, and one which is run by an evil bastard with no scruples whatsoever, which one will have the highest profit margins? The evil one. And so the evil one will eat the other 9, and the employees of the other 9 will be put to work doing evil things, and if the company gets large enough, the political system of the country the evil company is in will be bribed to do evil things. The counteracting force to that is organized popular movements, but those are on the defensive lately- witness congress intervening to undermine a strike when all the workers wanted was to be able to stay home when they were sick.
