In the 50s, Alan Turing was convicted for being gay. Much later, in 2013, the UK government issued a posthumous pardon [0]. I'm pretty sure nobody in the 2013 government was in the government in 1950, but AFAIK this was widely seen as a good thing, an admission that what the institution that is the UK government, although not the same people, had made a mistake.

I think this applies in exactly the same way to the wrongs of corporations. Out of decency, if not out of being consistent with the idea of treating them as legal persons.
