no it isnt. All companies are mandated by their shareholders to get the best ROI possible. This is what happens when governments hinder competition.
Wrong. They tried to set up an Inquisition with a mandate to make it look like their government has no hand in excessive gas prices. Didn't work.

..... Which is, by definition, greed. There's nothing preventing shareholders from imposing any legal conditions or restrictions they wish, on how a company operates. But mostly, they're just plain greedy.
I question the notion that companies - especially ALL companies - must be owned by shareholders who demand "the best possible" returns. In fact the following article from The Washington Post suggests that CEOs can, and even should, ignore any such 'mandate.' :
https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi... corporations-purpose/
“CEOs work to generate profits and return value to shareholders, but the best-run companies do more. They put the customer first and invest in their employees and communities. In the end, it’s the most promising way to build long-term value,” said Tricia Griffith, president and CEO of Progressive Corp."

All limited companies have shareholders idiot. It may only be one person but there are shareholders.
One could view that as advertising budget.It reaches out to a certain type of customer.Also it is tax deductable.
Do you work for a salary?.. Is it greater than minimum wage?
.... You must be greedy
Without any competitive form of ROI, these companies will not be able to raise cash.... Those CEOs of companies that have shareholders outside of themselves that make the decision to forgo profits will be looking for a job if they can't deliver growth and a ROI
Stick to sharing your special feelings about indians and immigrants and climate change etc
That's where you shine
