Abstract

The authors challenge the belief that the shareholder model dominates EU company law, to the detriment of corporate sustainability. The article argues that the last financial crisis has significantly moved EU regulation towards integrating stakeholder model into EU company law. The article seeks to identify means that the EU has employed to fight shareholder primacy norm. The article considers safeguards underpinning the corporate financial sustainability, alongside those aspects of corporate social responsibility which focus on the interaction between a financially sustainable company and sustainable society.
