Nobody said anything about being allowed to condemn them. You are free to do so.

The difference beyond people vs money is that a company with shareholders is not obligated to use child labor but is obligated to reduce tax expenditures. It's not simple because what do you consider more ethical? Tax minimization or hiring children to increase profits?

They're certainly not obligated to reduce tax expenditures. This is the commonly repeated falsehood that the fiduciary duty of a company to its shareholders obligates them to do anything and everything within the law to maximize profit - but that's incorrect. The fiduciary duty is much broader and can be respected while not blindly maximizing profit.

Sure best interests can cover a lot. However, using a well-known tax strategy that has its own name, is completely legal, has no risk, and can save billions for a multinational company worth over half a trillion is a sound business decision.

Not doing so would definitely be against the interests of the company.
