Abstract

Are companies there for their shareholder, stakeholders or more broadly the sustainability? In this Chapter, we look at the development trajectories in the EU and China, in order to explore the answer for this question. We first discuss the goal of corporations. Following that, the recent legal developments in EU and China on sustainability, directors’ duties, as well as due diligence and internal control are examined respectively.
