In the UK there is Trading Standards and a relevant ombudsman (ofcom for communications for example), as well as the Information Commissioner's Office for something specific like reporting a company for spam, there should be something similar wherever you are.
In my experience a rude reminder to the company that you don't want to receive their emails and that by not giving you an easy way to unsubscribe they are breaking the law and that you will (or have) reported them to the relevant bodies, is enough to get them to stop.
Thx
