It's subjective in the sense that when two people disagree about morals, there is no objective truth of the matter that could be determined empirically and settle the dispute, outside any formal ethical system they may use. It's as subjective as goals and values. Objectively I have goal X, but the goal is mine own, so it's subjective in that sense.
In particular, it's not objective in the sense that physics or mathematics is.
