You are taking too much upon yourself.
Individual businesses exist to pursue their own best interests, acting reasonably and within the law, etc etc.
They have to be adaptable and alive to changing circumstances, exploiting market advantages and openings, recognising adverse changes and acting accordingly. Then if they judge things correctly they are free to make whatever profits they like, pay their employees, pay their taxes, etc.
But when they start assuming the role of self-appointed moral and economic crusaders I start to get wary.
Brexit will give challenging opportunities, and I am more impressed by those ready to exploit them than by those still fighting yesterday's battles.
This may not be you personally of course, but your choice of words does suggest that a little.
