This is why regulation is necessary for capitalistic organizations to have a net positive effect on society. Companies are fantastic at maximizing profits (through productivity and efficiency), but that's far too simplistic a goal to not become destructive at some point.

Regulation by the government - the representative of the actual society, instead of just a handful of shareholders - channels the raw energy of capitalism towards the good of society through incentives and penalties (against companies' profits, their sole motivators). Otherwise corporations are just a bunch of really big dogs chasing cars, leaving destruction in their wake.
