I would say "No, no exceptions".  I don't mean that all companies are monsters, 
only that moral behavior is a feature of individual humans.  If a company 
behaves well it's because one or more individuals within the company are making 
moral decisions on its behalf.

This isn't a condemnation of companies.  I'm just saying it's the only way it 
CAN be.  A group is not a person and cannot have moral judgement, though its 
individual members may.

Big companies do not have morals, with maybe some, I don't know which ones, 
exceptions.
