"Large corporations are pretty much all moral black hole's"

Exactly.

Corporations are not living things that have stuff like ethics, morals, compassion, or anything recognizable as human. They are (and are intentionally designed to be) engines of economic production, and that is their sole concern.

Expecting moral or ethical behavior from a corporation makes as much sense as milking a cow and expecting that it will produce beer.

That said, the fact that they're engines of economic production means that they can be made to adhere to expectations of ethical behavior. All it takes is to ensure that they'll make more profit that way.
