Part of running a profitable business is doing the right thing. Following socially obligated rules is a cost just like buying drywall.

The profits at all cost mentality is a criminal mentality. Maybe it gets away with not being formally criminal because laws or enforcement are weak (as is the case in the USA) but that doesn't justify the mentality.

I do not have a dry wall. Houses in EU usually do not have a dry wall.
