They tend to civil, rather than criminal, offenses, at least up until a certain level of severity or until they actually cause harm.
The tricky bit with the corporations you mention is that responsibility becomes diffuse, unless there is concrete evidence of a direct order to violate the law. What you're basically asking for is to make people into scapegoats because it feels good, not because there's actual justice involved.
