Going Public: Prudent Sustainable Corporate Governance Necessary (in German)

The EU Commission is proposing that companies should be obliged to balance the interests of all their stakeholders. However, such a general obligation will not lead to companies being managed more sustainably, criticises Dr. Cordula Heldt. It is simply not possible to balance the interests of all stakeholders. Just as there are sometimes irresolvable conflicts of objectives in society as a whole, this also applies to the stakeholders of a company.

The article by Cordula Heldt, which appeared as part of a new series on the Bundestag elections, was published at Going Public.
