The CEO of the company I used to work, used to say every time they talked about the inclusivity initiatives that they were not doing them because it was the moral thing to do, but because it was the thing that brings more returns to the company. Always found rare that he was so honest with that.
Yep, it’s really as simple as “Why have a handful of markets, when we can have all the markets.” It’s so odd how it’s a combination of abject greed and total disdain for things like inclusivity, but they back it because money.
In general they are the same thing. In the broadest terms, what’s seen as moral is what society as a whole approves. By definition, some are early adopters and some are late adopters.
Sociologists even have a term “moral entrepreneur” which means a person or group that leads the adoption of a new moral norm in society.
