When money is all that matters

In our current climate:
If a corporation can make one million dollars by helping people and supporting the environment, then that's all good.  But if that same corporation could make one million and one dollars by killing people and poisoning the environment, then that's what they should do (assumuing they may incur some fines and lawsuits from the damage, the one million and one is what is left over).  In fact, that's what the supreme court said they HAVE to do.  Their primary goal must be to maximize profits; and that one dollar is more important than the social or environmental impact.  Does anyone else see a problem with this configuration?
