This is the problem with capitalism. Corporations will do anything to make a buck. This includes poisoning us with roundup.
Corporations are *legally obliged* to make a buck in their terms of incorporation.
Sadly they're not legally obliged to run sustainable and productive businesses or to avoid harming the planet or it's living populations.

I think that may be a misapprehension, but I have no expertise on this, so here's a link to people saying it ain't so...
Yes, agreed - articles of association (in the UK) can include variety of payment options associated with Director pay, dividends and share issues and transfers, although it's usual for companies (cf. co-operatives or charities) to assume making an operating profit as standard and larger companies are often beholden to their shareholders to maximise profits and dividend payments.
My over-simplification.
