The conference was organized to discuss the company law-related efforts aiming to address the significant sustainability challenges that Europe is facing. The first session examined effective and sustainable approaches to active ownership. In it, Prof. Cools shared her perspectives on whether shareholder activism can be a driver of sustainability, and Prof. Bauer built upon this topic by discussing various strategies of active ownership and their impact on sustainability. The second session focused on the alignment between directors' duties and the social role of corporations. Prof. Davies explained why a change of corporate purpose, as advocated by Mayer in Prosperity, would not be enough to change the nature of doing business. Prof. Winter then followed up with his presentation emphasizing the urgent need to address societal problems through channels other than just government regulation. The third and last session invited representatives from companies, the investor community, and civil society to discuss sustainable business practices. This report provides an overview of the discussions held during the first two sessions of the conference, highlighting the main arguments presented by the speakers and their relevance to the ongoing discourse on sustainable company law.\u0000sustainability, ESG, shareholder activism, active ownership, corporate purpose, sustainable business, Green Deal","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140796257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The board observer is a relatively new phenomenon in the Dutch context (unlike Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions). In recent years, an increase has been noted in the Netherlands in the use of board observers. Basically, the board observer is a person who, as an agent and on behalf of an investor (most of the time), attends and observes board meetings and therefore receives a significant amount of information that is useful for the investor to stay up to date about the financial and operational health of the portfolio company. The author describes the motives to make use of an observer, both from the perspective of the investor and the (board of the) company. Also, the position of a board observer within the corporate governance of the company is discussed, as well as issues of confidentiality. Finally, the author addresses different authorities that can be granted to the board observer. For lawyers and other legal practitioners, it might be useful to advocate for detailed, contractual arrangements, since the board observer has no legal basis in Dutch law.

Under this Directive, companies are required to disclose a substantial amount of information on the impact of climate change and global warming, including sustainability matters relating to the company’s activity and information on the impact of the company activity on the environment and people. Nevertheless, the practical implementation of these sustainability-related disclosure obligations will encounter significant obstacles, most notably the wide scope of reporting. In particular, the reporting company bears the burden of disclosing material information on impacts, risks and opportunities connected to not only its own operations but also the operations of its direct and indirect business relationships in the upstream and downstream value chain. Such disclosure is expected to involve information produced by different, often distant sources, making information gathering efforts very difficult and endangering the quality of the information disclosed. In this reporting process, the company is even expected to engage with its stakeholders across its value chain. This article offers insights into these challenges and sheds light on the role that Blockchain technology may play in improving data quality and management in businesses that operate global, multilayer supply chains. corporate sustainability reporting, materiality, information disclosure, supply chain management, Blockchain","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135762571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
