This is a grey area. Yes people are people, but when they work for corporations they are given a green light to do things that they normally morally wouldnt do. The ability to blame it on superiors, brush it under the carpet, or hide evidence amongst billions of pieces of normal data allow 'People' to make abhorrent decisions in the best interest of making the company money. These decisions may even be incentivised by bonuses etc.
People are human beings, and we are all prone to bias and bribery nwhen big sums of cash are dangled in front of us.
There is nothing special about a company in what you say - you could say the same thing about a church or a protest group - or any other grouping of people.
And yes, the leaders of a company/protest group/church might have more influence on the moral choices of it's members than the rank and file than others - but they are also people too.
A company isn't magical with an existence outside the people that define the systems, processes, and perform the work.
Sure if you are flipping burgers in famous burger chain you are following very clearly defined rules as part of a bigger system - but a person designed that system - intentionally - and people manage and maintain it.
