I always find it funny when representatives of a big corporation say this.
The profit is all that matters to companies, even their reputation with the wider public only matters because it affects their ability to achieve a higher profit margin.
It feels disingenuous and manipulative to hear this.
Well, there are in some countries publicly owned companies, whose main goal isn’t profit generation, but providing a certain service (water or electricity provider, road work, public transport etc.) and only generate enough profit to keep it going. But those are not the majority and not the ones who are actively destroying our biosphere, so mostly not relevant.
