Ethical violations happen no matter the economic system, and capitalism (market dynamics) at least provide a mechanism for self-correction.

Your response may help you jerk off to your righteousness, but it does not give anything actionable and it does not provide any type of solution to solve the problem. Can you try again, please?

There are other methods of self-correction (e.g. social pressure) that have been much more effective over the long run. Now you might say, "there's nothing interfering with social pressure in capitalism, you can have competitive markets with social pressure". But often, companies must either accept ethical violations or be out-competed in a competitive marketplace.

"Companies" can not do anything, except be used by unethical people at the top as an excuse for their deeds.

This is not an issue of Capitalism, but of Corporativism. If you want to fight, at least we should be clear about what is the real enemy.
