In the overall picture of different regulatory approaches and techniques and with the focus on the ongoing developments at the EU company law, hard law legislative solutions concerning corporate purpose and direc- tor’s duty of care as well as mandatory due diligence that are at the core of sustainable corporate governance, as those enabling to promote pos- itive contributions by the companies to sustainable development and tackling adverse impacts on society associated with their operations, are addressed. |
