A company only cares about money, always have, always will. The way you make them care about their actions is by taking away their money, it's all pretty simple.
The monetary damage from bad PR when caught clearly isn't enough, but when you have regulators like the EU who impose massive fines as a percentage of gross revenue, suddenly every company becomes super careful about what they do. And those regulations are there because it's in the selfish self interest of the electorate to not get poisoned :)
We don't live in the natural world, we bend it to our will. By recognizing what's the default we can leverage that to improve on it more effectively. If you know a bad person will do bad things, you can plan for it and make sure nobody gets hurt. Pretending a bad man isn't bad is just optimistic delusion and why libertarianism doesn't work in real life.
