If it makes financial sense, absolutely. (Don't forget, PR campaigns are why most things corporations do what they do—both positive and negative.) But there are few companies who specialize in refrigerants, so that's kind of a moot point to raise about specific artificial greenhouse gases. The bigger point to make revolves around who you think corporations are, and how they operate relative to the consumer. If a corporation face onerous regulatory overreach, they will (and do!) pass those costs on to the consumer. And most consumers are invested in some manner with corporations via pensions and retirement investment accounts, even if they don't sit on the board of directors.
