It's the opposite. For the purposes of corporations, ethics don't exist.

Corporations are a people-group where everyone validates each other's decision to pursue profit ("we work for the shareholders") to the exclusion of ethics or morality. They're finely tuned mechanisms to exploit human's group-mentality in order to circumvent people ethical mores.

That’s a very cynical world view. So the second someone forms a corporation, they lose all their ethics and become slaves to making a profit?

No, it usually happens when they become immensely profitable and there is a lot of shareholder pressure.

Google started with harmless search adds to the side and out of the way of search results. Gotta grow for the shareholders though.
