Essai sur la virtuous corporation

M. Shlomit Azgad-Tromer, publie un article intéressant sur les liens entre société par actions, droit et RSE : « The Virtuous Corporation: On Corporate Social Motivation and Law » (September 26, 2016, University of Pennsylvania Journal of Business Law, Forthcoming).

Above and beyond their traditional financial roles, contemporary corporations are increasingly assuming a normative role, promoting social agendas. The myriad normative roles assumed by the corporation, from profit-centered corporate goodness, to environmental and human rights corporate agendas and to corporate philanthropy, comprise an emerging corporate social identity. This article asks what induces corporations to pursue social agendas and provides an initial taxonomy for corporate social motivation, showing that the incentives to normative corporate conduct are often rooted in the business purpose itself. Central policy challenges are discussed, outlining the promise and the peril of emerging corporate social identities.
