> what I do struggle to understand is that Western companies apparently DO NOT CARE.

Here's what it is: in law corporations are essentially given a weird kind of personhood. It's that way so corporations can get things done.

Unfortunately, corporations aren't people: they don't care, they don't have ethics, they don't have morals, they don't have values, they don't have family, they don't have a conscience.

It's not an original observation, but due to this, the type of person a company most resembles is one of posessing profound psychopathological traits.

Corporations aren't people but they are run and managed by people. I'd like to think that they have ethics, morals and a conscience.

They don't. Companies are structures that attract and reward sociopaths and narcissists, and they're designed to maximise profit. Normal people aren't given the opportunity to weild any kind of power, but people with low empathy and high charisma scores, straight to the top!
