A business aim is what the business is aiming for and a business objective is how they are going to achieve there aims.

This means that instead of keeping the money they earn for them selves they donate it to various charities. Additionally if Oxfam does not keep the money they earn they cannot afford to pay all of there workers, therefore some of the workers are voluntary.
