The law absolutely does not require corporations to make decisions on any particular basis, and definitely does not require them to put profits first. Please stop spreading this myth, it confuses people and gives amoral executives an "out" for their horrible behavior.

Fiduciary duty is an abstract concept that basically means a duty of trust. If shareholders are told that profits are secondary, you don't violate trust by not putting them first.
