    pardon, but it's “are affecting corporations” (not Effecting)

    affect – evoking a strong emotional response

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/affec…

    affecting – arousing affect; “the homecoming of the released hostages was an affecting scene”; “poignant grief cannot endure forever”; “his gratitude was simple and touching”
