Corporate Responsibility

The law has caught up with Jan and Paul! Dr Rafael Savva, from Lancaster University’s Law School, promises he won’t sue us, but will recording the podcast turn him into a supervillain? Rafael talks to us about corporate governance legislation; the differences between hard and soft law – and how they apply to corporate responsibility; the potential conflicts between environmental regulation and seeking profit; the power of shareholders; socially responsible investing; and the importance of defining sustainable development in order to shape future legislation. Discover if Paul and Jan would make good Law students – and whether Jan has any memory of her prior education in contract law.
