Samenvatting

This book evaluates the imperative for companies to broaden their stakeholder engagement. Contributors compare and analyse various stakeholder engagement models within European company law, whether national company law or EU law, examining their efficacy, benefits, and limitations.

Leading experts investigate the role of different stakeholders within company organisations, namely employees, business partners, customers and clients, and those within the local community. They explore the difference in regulatory frameworks that govern the engagement of these groups, evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of each. Chapters cover key topics, including worker influence and representation, worker share schemes, the consultation of stakeholders on sustainability measures, debtholder influence, and stakeholders in the data economy. Looking ahead, this book evaluates the prospects for future reforms to corporate law in relation to stakeholders.

Stakeholder Engagement in European Companies is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and students interested in understanding how corporate governance is affected by stakeholder engagement. This book will greatly benefit those in the fields of corporate law, company and insolvency law, and European law.
