Okay, so just to throw a rant in here:
While it is rather heartening to witness the rather strong (and I personally believe, rightly guided) moral compasses of many of the members here...
It's also important to note, corporations have no morality, nor do they deserve any from you.
<Crazy-Edge-Case-Example>
If Amazon figured out a legal way to run you over with a truck for money, they'd do it.
In fact, they'd have their techs working on the ideal tire tread that "crushes humans without getting their carcasses stuck to the wheels". Blood and bone resistant rubber and all that.
As well as "scream minimizers" that use acoustic noise cancellation technology to silence the victims being run over.
And of course advanced data analytics to determine which direction humans tend to break (left or right) when running away from a massive "human crusher 5000".

Point is, unlike individuals, corporations are beholden to a simple guiding principle, which is even indoctrinated within the law(s) that governs them: "maximize profit".
If polluting a lake costs less (in environmental cleanup, public relations, lawsuits, fines, etc) than it costs to dispose of waste through a "proper channel" you can be **** sure someone is going to do it.
It's a sad, but true fact of the corporate capitalist mentality.
And I can hear you already, "well XXX company has a moral conscious and doesn't engage in that sort of behavior". No. XXX company has decided that their positive PR is worth more in terms of profit than engaging in the otherwise "negatively perceived behavior".
Look at organic food for example... Yes, I personally think it's morally better to eat a chicken that hasn't lived its entire life in a tiny little metal box. Whole Foods thinks so too, right? Wrong.
Whole Foods has calculated that *I* think it's worth paying more for a "cruelty free" chicken. Therefore, they provide "cruelty free" chicken to me at a higher price point, and they make more profit. If they were just selling regular chicken, they'd have to compete with Costco, Market Basket, Stop & Shop, etc... and they would not make as much profit at that price point and competitive model. Plus, I get to tell all my friends that "oh, this chicken is from Whole Foods" making myself feel better in front of my friends. I'm purchasing that "feeling" from Whole Foods too.
Anyway.. to wrap up this rant... morality is great when dealing with other people, like your friends, your family, and even your colleagues. I'd even go so far as to say that morality and respect are a requirement for interacting with all other people, regardless of their personal beliefs/positions. Here in Boston, we had a massive man-hunt and shoot-em-up tracking down the Marathon Bombers. But when we caught the remaining brother, do we execute him in the street? No. We take him to a hospital, provide him the very best medical care, and treat him (as a criminal) but with some manner of respect and morality. Even with our enemies, human-to-human interactions demand morality and respect.
However, and this is quite a big however, corporations do not operate with any sort of morality, and every time you treat Microsoft or Google or Amazon like you would a human, they laugh. Because to them, you're just another piece of their profit...
To steal words from another:
"That's capitalism doll, morality comes excluded".
Basically, point is, if I found a wallet in the street, I'll return it without touching a single cent.
If I find a million dollars of Google's money in my bank account, I'm keeping it.
