From the article:
> the legislative auditor concluded that the company "had a moral responsibility"...
Since when do corporations have any kind of responsibility, other than to make as much profit as possible? Expecting anything else is futile. If something needs to be fixed, it is in mechanisms to restrain this kind of behaviour where it is in the public interest. Demanding that corporations have morals is not the solution.
- mgkimsal 14y agoIf corporations have the concept of 'personhood' attributable, they can probably have the concept of 'moral responsibility' attributed as well.
