The emerging field of corporate law, corporate governance and sustainability is one of the most dynamic and significant areas of law and policy in light of the convergence of environmental, social and economic crises that we face as a global society. Understanding the impact of the corporation on society and realizing its potential for contributing to sustainability is vital for the future of humanity. This Handbook comprehensively assesses the state-of-the-art in this field through in-depth discussion of sustainability-related problems, numerous case studies on regulatory responses implemented by jurisdictions around the world, and analyses of predominant strategies and potential drivers of change. This Handbook will be an essential reference for scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers, and general readers interested in how corporate law and governance have exacerbated global society's most pressing challenges, and how reforms to these fields can help us resolve those challenges and achieve sustainability.

Reviews for The Cambridge Handbook of Corporate Law, Corporate Governance and Sustainability

'Global business may shape the world more than government, yet government may still have instruments to give guidance. This Handbook brings all three together, condensed into the three-partite title and structure - scope (sustainability), governance of firms and political guidance (actually well beyond 'corporate law' solely). This Handbook gives us Hercules at labour - but rather at his seventh task than at his first.' Stefan Grundmann, European University Institute, Florence and Humboldt University, Berlin 'This Handbook should be required reading for policy makers, business leaders and other stakeholder groups. The authors pose thought-provoking questions upending some of the traditional, theoretical views of sustainability and soft law norms. They propose practical, actionable, tough solutions to some seemingly intractable problems related to disclosure, due diligence and multi-stakeholder governance.' Marcia Narine Weldon, University of Miami 'This is a thoughtful compilation of case studies and reflective comments on corporate governance in the rapidly developing field of sustainability. The breadth of the authors' perspectives and jurisdictions allows the discerning reader different lenses through which to consider regulatory policy options and a range of sustainable business practices.' Janis Sarra, UBC Presidential Distinguished Professor, University of British Columbia
