Is this corporation exploiting poorer countries in order to maximize profits? The answers will always be yes.

Is this corporation exploiting

That's all you need to ask. And the answer will always be yes.

Poorer countries
This part is superfluous. Hell, they'll exploit rich countries, too.

in order to maximize profits?

Most of the time this is yes, but not always. Sometimes they exploit people just because they can or it's just the way they've always done things. Those are the really disturbing ones. Exploiting for profit we can all understand even if we find it revolting, but we have a problem understanding when it happens because no one ever said anything or "it's just always how we did it" or some other such reason.
