False.
That is a simplistic model of capitalism.
More advanced models take into account other factors that affect the company's health and hence long term profitability.
These factors include the community, the workers and the environment.
Only the greedy short sited ones do not acknowledge these other factors and ruin perfect capitalism.
Sorta like the greedy short sited ones who ruin perfect communism
