Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation

They're incomplete in that all of the statements lack any falsifiable content. They're vapid, nonspecific, and obvious. This is clearly a PR exercise, possibly with the hope of publicly allying with one of the Democratic primary contenders, or a strong potential Trump challenger.

Statements about planned obsolescence, disposable plastic packaging, repairability or specific forms of rent seeking are examples of the kinds of statements that would be serious.

Or specific maximum CEO to lowest salary ratio targets.

I hope this isn't the case, but that's what kept repeating in my head while I was reading it. If this is an honest sentiment and the start of a change in the way business runs then we'll see that in short order. But, in the end, it all comes down to making money and not "the greater good".
