Beskrivning
This is the first book to provide a comparative and critical analysis of why and how six corporate mechanisms - (1) sustainability reporting; (2) board gender diversity; (3) constituency directors; (4) stewardship codes; (5) directors' duty to act in the company's best interests; and (6) liability on companies, shareholders and directors - have been or can be used to promote sustainability in the four leading common law jurisdictions in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia). A central challenge is, whether and if so, how the corporate mechanisms should be reconceptualised to promote sustainability in an environment that is characterised by controlling shareholders, particularly the government in state-owned enterprises. Because controlling shareholders are the norm for the majority of the world's companies, and state-owned enterprises play a significant role, this book has important insights on the problems and prospects of advancing sustainability in concentrated and mixed ownership jurisdictions.

Recensioner i media

'Sustainability and Corporate Mechanisms in Asia is an important, erudite and accomplished work. It should be read by the very directors, C-suite executives, policy makers and leaders responsible for corporate social responsibility in the very companies which are the focus of his book. I recommend it without hesitation to anybody who has an interest or stake in corporations and sustainability in Asia. Because, as Lim has eloquently and persuasively argued throughout his book, there is not only a clear and positive correlation between sustainability and a company's financial performance, but because corporate sustainability 'is a morally good thing to do'.' Edmund Lee, Modern Law Review
