All it involves is the state not having a control over the market, which is how original markets worked.
If you honestly think that profit is the only concern of companies under capitalism, then you need to read up on the subject a bit more. Companies have the concerns of their consumers and shareholders to respond to. A company that ignores either is a doomed one.
There is a reason a lot of companies go above and beyond what the state asks of them in terms of environmental issues, and it is all down to the image the company wants to uphold. If the consumers in your market will buy more from companies that are "green", then it is in your best interest to be "green".
