This Directive imposes a 40% quota in respect of the underrepresented gender for listed company boards in the EU. The aim is to diversify corporate boardrooms and thereby boost economic growth and gender equality (among other objectives). In this paper I look at the mechanisms of the Directive and consider their practical effect and potential impact. I also ask whether the Directive has missed an opportunity to make a more tangible difference to gender equality by failing to effectively consider executive director diversity. I reach the conclusion that the Directive, as drafted, might have been suitable 10 years ago but is not necessarily today. The changes of the last 10 years threaten to mean the Directive becomes obsolete before its pre-destined end date in 2038.\u0000boardroom diversity, gender equality, quota, directors, company law, corporate governance, European Union","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46805455","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}

This article also discusses the method used by MSCI to rate listed companies for ESG compliance and whether asset or fund managers could rate their investment portfolios independently from a stock exchange. In this regard, three asset managers – BNP Paribas, Blackrock and Old Mutual – are examined for similarities in their ESG rating processes. In addition, this article explains whether the above stock exchanges are using the same ESG metrics or not.\u0000Paris Stock Exchange, New York Stock Exchange, Johannesburg Stock Exchange, ESG, asset manager index, asset manager ESG compliance, ESG rating, United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47245916","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}

This form of minority protection is a hot topic in (European) company law especially since the introduction of appraisal remedies in the Cross Border Mobility Directive.\u0000This article deals with an underexposed risk to this form of minority protection in private companies, namely the impact of the payment of the compensation for the withdrawing shareholder on the financial position of the company. Just as any other distribution, the payment of the compensation could endanger the solvency and liquidity of the company. This is not only relevant for the company creditors but also the remaining shareholders. I will elaborate on this risk and how remedies for creditor protection can temper it.\u0000This article argues that this risk will, however, only seldomly occur as the impact on the financial position of the company will have a deterrent effect on the underlying transaction. The most plausible situations in which this risk will occur are ‘do or die’ transactions and the scenario of irrational behaviour of shareholders. For these scenarios, means of creditor protection are needed.\u0000Appraisal remedies, withdrawal of shareholders, private companies’ minority protection, creditor protection","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44754962","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}

Like the French vigilance law, it represents a new generation of supply chain laws which impose mandatory human rights due diligence obligations. The LkSG requires enterprises to exercise a number of due diligence obligations – from conducting risk analysis to undertaking preventive measures or remedial actions. The law is based on public enforcement via a competent authority, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The BAFA monitors and enforces compliance with the due diligence obligations. Non-compliant enterprises can be fined with up to 800,000 Euros and, in some cases, up to 2% of the annual turnover. Whilst the LkSG is an important step towards achieving greater corporate sustainability, it also has limitations. It was a political compromise and, as such, it does not include a new civil liability for non-compliance. Moreover, by default, it only applies to the enterprise’s own business area and its direct suppliers, whereas indirect suppliers are only included where the enterprise has substantiated knowledge that an obligation has been violated.\u0000Supply chain law, Germany, Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz, LkSG, business, human rights, home state laws, human rights due diligence, UN Guiding Principles","PeriodicalId":11843,"journal":{"name":"European Company Law","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42611364","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}

It was set up in 2020 by Steffen Hindelang and J. Hillebrand Pohl, the convenors of this year’s conference, as a permanent successor to the ‘International Conference on a Common European Law on Investment Screening (CELIS)’, convened by Professor Hindelang and Andreas Moberg in 2019. The aim of CFIS 22 was to debate European investment screening on national security grounds from a strategic perspective on the theme ‘The Emerging Law of Investment Control in Europe: Screening, Sanctions and Subsidies’. CFIS was a major event which brought together, not just leading academic scholars, EU officials, national experts, diplomats, and policymakers, but also business leaders, think tankers, and representatives of the investment community and civil society, as well as the media from across Europe and beyond.
