Sustainability and corporate governance: no new regulation (in German)

On the occasion of the consultation on Sustainable Corporate Governance held by the EU Commission, Deutsches Aktieninstitut expressed its concerns about the consultation questionnaire and the consultation procedure in a letter to DG Justice. Some of the policy measures mentioned are unclear: for example the proposal that companies are obliged to have a general public benefit and to follow a statute issued by an office. In several sections, the questions seem to be more about the respondent's personal opinion than about collecting facts.
