Show me a business school where they teach this.
Most business schools nowadays have entire classes/seminars/units within otherwise unrelated classes focusing on social responsibility.
What???
You're correct in the assumption that most if not all business schools have entire classes and seminars and units focusing in business ETHICS. This is very true, my entire undergrad curriculum I felt was one big "let's sit and reflect on how terrible Enron was" pow wow...
Here's the thing though..
Business 101: A business basically has two reasons for existence, one is to provide a good or service, two to maximize profit and returns for either its shareholder or stakeholders.
A business has NO OTHER OBLIGATION. If you Google the syllibi or course curriculum of every top business school and program I think you'll find that my statements are not far off.
The problem is...unchecked, businesses will wreak havoc on society without rules and regulations that protect the consumer and society in general. Businesses have no obligation to uplift society or protect them from various ills...but they CAN be held accountable given a particular societies rules and regulations, and thus it would be in the best interest of the business to do no harm...
BUT are you really doing "harm" if no one sues you for it or takes you to court because it it? Are you responsible for something unless a judge or panel of representatives from a governing body tells you you are?
That's where we are in the business world right now. We want the things we have, we want busineseses and corporations to be able to sell us the things we want, but in order to do that, sometimes, businesses conduct immoral or unethical practices in order to achieve these outcomes.
The goal here is to create a system where they ARE liable or responsible for their actions because without that obligation, as someone said before, you're leaving it up to the consumer to decipher whether or not those actions are harmful, often times AFTER they've taken place and done their damage. And in a world where information is imperfect (not just incorrect but also LATE) that's just not good enough.
I bet your gonna say we dont and have never lived in a capitalist nation 
Wait, you think the joining of state and economy is purely an economic(capitalism in this case) phenomenon and not a failure of the government body? You think its capitalism that makes politicians accept bribes from corps.? You think this all made possible by capitalism, not Washington itself?
