He's placing standards and accessibility in context of a business proposition and they're of negligible consequence to financial decision makers unless a clear monetary gain is demonstrated. In a cold-hearted business world, social responsibility doesn't exist ... which is why we have to do it ourselves and illustrate clear benefits in terms of revenue and hope our respective governments pop their dentures back in and start to bite through legislative sanctions. It's that simple.
