Sustainability in Public Procurement, Corporate Law and Higher Education: Transnational Law and Governance

Editat de Lela Melon
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2023
Contemporary changes in law and policy at the global level to efficiently answer to environmental and social issues correspond to the traditional approach of limiting the regulatory and policy changes to a singular field or discipline: tackling the inherent unsustainability of corporate laws or incentivising the offering of sustainable finance to stimulate the transition towards sustainable practices. This book provides a new viewpoint and approach of simultaneously regulating seemingly non-connected fields in order to provide a fertile ground for a truly organic change towards sustainable outcomes. It addresses diverse questions of sustainable transition of the three specific fields to support sustainable practices in public procurement, private market transaction, and in educating future business leaders and legal experts by incorporating sustainable concerns as the underlying guiding principles of their conduct. It translates scientific findings into a practical format that can be used by diverse stakeholders searching for information and solutions in their respective professional fields. The underlying assumption is that a simultaneous action in the three respective fields of public procurement, corporate law, and higher education brings about more coherent and interconnected results that incentivise further action and changes towards sustainable practices. The book furthers the idea of policy coherence by building upon the findings in the field of public procurement, corporate law, and practice and higher education curricula. By identifying the barriers in the three respective fields for sustainable action and proposing solutions for either eliminating or minimising those barriers at the EU level, the book calls for further changes in the respective fields as well as for considering the spillover effects of these policies on other fields.

Recenzii

"This edited collection provides a great entry into pathways to corporate sustainability. The overview of practical means to strengthen the role of institutions, including law and corporate governance, makes this publication an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the interlinkages between corporations and sustainability."
Prof. Jeroen Veldman, Nyenrode Business Universiteit



Sustainability can no longer be promoted as an entirely voluntary consideration. (Failing) markets are being too slow to adapt to the climate emergency, both on the (public) demand and the (corporate) offer side. Minimising and mitigating climate change requires a much more decisive policy intervention. This edited collection offers valuable insights on the three inter-related policy areas of public contracts, corporate governance and higher education (of future leaders), and much food for thought for policymakers wanting to get serious about the biggest challenge on their agendas.
Prof. Albert Sanchez-Graells, Professor of Economic Law and Co-Director of the Centre for Global Law and Innovation at the University of Bristol Law School.
