What do you mean by "corporate shield"? Are you referring to limited liability? Corporations are still accountable for the laws that they break.

I think they mean the corporate veil that is typically assumed, as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil

It provides a layer of liability protection for the personal assets of the humans behind the company when it comes to debts. But it also provides protection from criminal liability in many cases when it comes to horrible non-financial crimes.

Um, how? Corporations don't care if they go under. They also don't care if they commit genocide or are responsible for major industrial disasters.
