A lot of the initiatives are ineffective by design because the real goal is to give the consumers agency over the problem. Corporations have known that individual effort is a drop in the bucket but by framing the problem as not not a “corporate” problem but a “society” problem, they can keep not fixing it, for profit.

Those companies pollute to produce goods and services that individual buy.

What does holding corporations accountable look like if not refusing to give them our money while advocating for regulation?

Individual change is changing society.

Throwing your hands in the air, doing nothing to change your destructive habits and just saying "but corporations" isn't gonna help anything.
