Capitalism cannot operate in any way other than that which creates the greatest accumulation of further capital, or which makes the greatest profit.
Companies are powerless, literally powerless, to prevent themselves polluting the environment in any way that can make a profit - if the state is also captured by the interests of capital, then it is hopeless - you have a situation where the most advanced nation in the world refuses to sign up to greenhouse gas limits and the world in 100 years will be in many ways a hostile environment to life.
