A company, in principle, cannot care about anything but profit maximization. Nestle isn’t evil, it’s merely more brazenly expressive of the amoral nature of capitalist production.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. It’s the invisible hand of capitalism that tends to cause evil.
If the current board of directors chose morality over profit, the shareholders would have an obligation to each other to oust the board and elect people who put profit first above all else.
If any one CEO tries to put morality over profit, that CEO will be replaced with someone who makes profit-focused decisions.
It’s all very impersonal as it is just a function of capitalism.
If governments weren’t all bought and paid for, maybe they could make it less profitable for the company to be evil, which would be the only way to make a change.

You cannot abstain from morality as if it’s a choice YOU can make. Your actions on others make others assign your morality.
Institutions that claim to be amoral do so to justify their evil.

They break contracts and break the law on purpose, as a company they should be bound to the law or forfeit profit, but governments are weak.
And yet every other company isn’t nestle.
Eh, they basically are. It’s like the whole anti-Zuckerberg outrage. They’re just very visible examples, not some fundamentally different evil.
Not every company is the same, you’re just too lazy to think about it.
