The only way to force morality onto big businesses is to round up all the top people from each company and execute them one by one until the rest agree to play fair.

No, even then
the survivors would still be legally obliged to try and make the most amount of money they could. The only way to stop a practice you might consider "morally wrong" is to regulate businesses to make it illegal for them to do it.

This.
and if you want to do that a) you have to make the penalties for breaking the law so severe that it wouldn't make economic sense to do it, otherwise they would do is carry on breaking the law and pay the fines whilst reaping higher profits, because it's an economic consideration not a moral one and b) Really, if you want to do that, probably best not to vote in a Tory administration, eh? Oh wait. Oh, you already did. Bad luck, there.
