True, but here in the US at least, we tend to use the terms interchangeably.
Which is why there are probably businesses out there who do just what you suggest, but very few corporations.
Businesses are free if they are a sole proprietership or partnership, maybe even an LLC (Limited Liability Company), to engage in "kinder, gentler" business practices. But even those kinds of businesses tend to lean philosophically toward the model of the corporation.
And again, I am only speaking from my own personal American citizen/business observer point of view.
