Abstract

Section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006 incorporates the concept of enlightened shareholder value together with a list of non-exhaustive factors that directors ought to take into account in promoting the success of the company. This article argues that the provision simply reflects existing law and modern business practices, and provides the guidance for CSR.
