Multinational corporations are legally bound to put profit for their shareholders above all else, including the environment and the welfare of human beings.I would recommend that you see the film "The corporation". In it, some disturbing parallels are drawn between the behaviour of corporate entities and the behaviour of psycopathic individuals.In court, a corparation has the same , if not more rights than an individual.They have a policy called "Externalization" , which ensures that the true costs of their activities are passed on to others.
