Most disturbing is the extent to which companies, so often stalwart defenders of the rule of law when it comes to their own rights, deliberately flout the law – heedless of the consequences – when it comes to maximizing profits. The case of Volkswagen continues to beggar belief.
最令人不安的是，公司在涉及到其自身权利时是坚定的法治捍卫者，而为了实现利润最大化，它们随时准备践踏法律——并且无视后果。大众汽车的例子仍在发酵。一家大型跨国公司怎么可以将犯罪行为列为其企业战略？最近关于埃克森美孚是否故意掩盖它对气候变化风险的了解的调查也同样恶劣。
