Corporations regularly support regulations and lobby for news ones, sometimes with the best of motives too... even barring obvious good/bad like pushing for a new regulation that might constrain competitors, a coal, solar, or nuclear power corporation might cheerfully encourage and lobby for noise/safety regulation on windmills, and they as a group minus coal might be only too happy to favor carbon taxes and restrictions, minus coal. Various light bulb manufacturers can and have pressed for restrictions on classic bulbs in favor of CFL and raised dread specters and pushed for regulation on LEDs as some contain tiny amounts of lead. A paper recycling plant might favor and lobby for increased restrictions on timber harvesting, ditto can recyclers on the mining industry, as in both cases their own cost remain the same but their products are more competitive. Clothing, shoes, building materials all have various alternatives which might be considered more or less 'green' and increased regulation of that nature allows those in say, cotton or wool, to be more competitive with synthetic fibers or even leather, with cows farting so much carbon. I can cite you examples if you'd like, though I tihnk you'd concede the point as common sense. Even companies who will themselves, as opposed to their competitors, be hit with a regulation might favor it if they can raise their prices initially to cover the new fees then streamline compliance and never get around to lowering prices appropriately, "Oh, your phone bill will cost $2.00 more a month for compliance with regs" and down the line as they streamline that cost to, say, $1.50, keep that fifty cents or benefit as a smaller competitor who streamlines can't cut down below, say, $1.75, becomes less competitive... so yes corporations often do favor regulation increases. Nor would this always be sinister, some company with ethics might replant trees after they harvest them and take efforts to minimize ecological damage and soil erosion, voluntarily or because of local regs, but a competitor of theirs with less ethics or less restrictions might not, and they'd naturally favor regs requiring the same efforts they put in, particularly since they'd have already streamlined compliance and their competitor will likely see a large temporary cost increase above what they themselves pay to comply.
