It'll reward the companies with the best groups of people, but not the best groups of companies, which I think the other comment was getting at.

I am not sure what best means in this context..?

Most utilitaristic? Best in stealing public resources while being seen as a philantropist?

What the best is, depends on the incentives, the goals and the company culture. The best Mafioso in a group of the best mafiosi will be without a doubt a damn good Mafioso – but what does this mean for the rest of society?

The definition of best is irrelevant. The point is the distinction between maximizing something for an individual versus maximizing that same thing for the group.
