Some companies absolutely try it for environmental regs, too. I think what you're possibly seeing here is that where a multinational tries labour abuses, the response is typically very messy and public, whereas only the very most extreme _regulatory_ offences will be particularly publicly visible (typically where the company tries to defy the regulator after being caught red-handed). More commonly they'll be told what they need to fix and possibly fined.

Sad the same isn't true in the UK where amazon is happily abusing the spirit (and perhaps also the letter - IANAL, don't sue me) of our already weakened labour laws.
