Actually I agree with the first part of your comment.

Companies should not be burdened with the hardship of having to balance the drive for profits against social conscience. I think we expect too much from them.

Let them go as hard as they like to maximise profits and satisfy their shareholders.

Let a strong regulator look after our interests and pull them into line.
