All of them, without any exceptions, place profit above literally anything.
A private company at least can place some things above profit, if the owner has principles. But when you’re a public company with countless shareholders, any stated or perceived ethics or morals are only there for the PR to drive profits higher or because it’s enforced by law. No exceptions.
Yeah ofc, it’s another way of funding a company and the investors want their return on investment as well.
Our savings, pensions, index funds etc are also investing in these publicly traded companies and we also want whatever roi we can get.
Governments just need to do their fucking job to prevent ani consumerism. But considering there are still a lot of people defending stupid rules and regulations (especially about anti consumer practises in the US) I doubt it will change anytime soon.
They’re a publicly-traded company.

We need a new system where profit is generated by the good you do in this world. I fucking hate the current system.
