I consider the corporate model to be inherently sociopathic. There’s so much accumulated evidence to suggest that environmentalism and sustainability and humanist values generally bring more stability- and hence long term profit- to society but corporate policy tends to be diametrically opposed to such values.

Eg.

According to corporate benefit legislation directors are prohibited by law from acting in the interest of anything other than profit. So corporate responsibility is the sham we all suspected it was. A mask behind which to perpetuate their sociopathy.

And, like the paedophile, the corporation sees nothing wrong in its conduct

Depends on the paedophile. Perhaps you should tighten the metaphor to “The Corporation as Gary Glitter”.

There might be a difference here: normal sociopaths have no capacity for empathy. They want your sandwich, so they knock you down, kill you, whatever it takes. Your injury can’t possibly mean anything to them. But corporate insanity might have taken it a bit further: they want to knock you down or kill you, because that’s how they chiefly get sandwiches. They feel if they’ve beaten you up, they probably got a sandwich out of it, even if there is no sandwich. This is where things get weird.

The concept os the Corporation as an intity is a smokescreen – the Corporation serves only as a cover for the three year cycle of Managing Directors who ultimately skim the cream off the top of all moneys made with obscene severence packages.
Paedophiles? Rapists.

Like the paedophile, the state thinks of itself as the friend of those it seeks to control; it uses its unequal power relationship with communities and groups to manipulate them for its own ulterior motives – a paedophile might use a puppy and a van, but the state might use promises of “investment in the community”, codes of conduct global warming, and so on. And, like the paedophile, the state sees nothing wrong in its conduct: getting elected by doing good, as Jim Hacker might have said…
