Yes, in my world companies willingly choose to do more than strictly legally required minimum so that they have good evidence that they are good stewards of the environment. If you want to run a business and make billions of dollars, you should be required to do negative harm to the world, and be punished if you attempt to violate that social contract.
The onus should ALWAYS be on you PERSONALLY as someone being PERSONALLY enriched by the company you own and or run, to not poison the world. If you are worried that it will eventually come out one of your products is harmful to the environment and yet you've basically dumped it everywhere, maybe do enough diligence to convince yourself that you will be safe, or DO NOT SELL A DANGEROUS OR POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT TO PERSONALLY ENRICH YOURSELF TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
Why should businesses exist solely to enrich their owners at the expense of the average human? Doing so should be one of the most heinous crimes.
