Is business ethics only consistent with short run profit maximization?

In the short run, a company may increase its profits by
continuing to sell a product, even though, it knows that the
product is defective or otherwise unsuitable for a particular use.
In the long run, though, because of lawsuits, large settlements,
and bad publicity, such unethical conduct will cause profits to
suffer. Thus, business ethics is consistent only with long-term
profit maximization.
