Abstract

We reflect and propose governance principles and practices on a balanced approach of corporate purpose and corporations’ expected contributions to a better society within a European context. This proposal also addresses issues of fair sharing, measurement, relations with governments, which contribute to improving corporations’ efficiency and their impact on society and nature.
