Trialog: Companies caught between the profit motive and the public interest?

Society and politics place expectations on the business sector, for example with regard to where companies locate as well as their willingness to pay domestic taxes and to comply with environmental regulations. But are these expectations legitimate and justified? What moral obligations do companies have towards government and society? And how do companies reconcile wider social responsibility with their obligations to employees and shareholders?
