As many problems as capitalism has, often monetary goals align perfectly with the 'ethical' action.
In my experience, capitalistic companies that optimize for long term survival (as is characteristic of Amazon) usually act in a less malevolent manner. However, any company that sees a revolving door of CEOs, will be seen to optimize for short term gains at the cost of consumer friendliness.
