I disagree, it’s a gross generalisation across millions of companies worldwide, and a very manichaean one at that.

“Good for business” is not something that is easy to measure and hence sometimes you make a decision without knowing what is better for business, which leaves the door open to ethics and moral values.

Example: „let’s reduce the waste we produce by reutilising more, which is going to cost us more in terms of logistics but if we can advertise it as green maybe it helps our sales” => impossible to conclusively verify, so what is going to drive the decision? Ethics, values (good or bad ones).

And all companies are not 100% unabatedly profit maximising machines. Some are, most of all the ones where faceless stock holders hold the power.
