A public company's only goal is to create value for its share holders.

While I personally believe things should be different, they aren't. A company that doesn't make money is useless to it's shareholders, and typically shareholders vote to make sure a company makes as much money as possible. There is no natural pressure on a company to care about other things, which is why we have laws to try to get them to care a little bit.
