Abstract
Corporations as such are often not perceived to have moral agency, and directors and officers of the corporation are frequently not considered responsible for corporate actions. However, I appeal to Peter French's view that reflection on a corporate internal decision (CID) procedure shows that a corporation should be considered a moral agent. Many writers have cast doubt on the correctness of French's view, but I defend it from several major objections.
