Sustainability, and Company’s Purpose

Renzo Costi

Banca Impresa Società, 2023, issue 3, 503-508

Abstract: This paper considers sustainability as a reasonable way of achieving the profit-making goal. The «other» interests of the company cannot exclude profit-making purposes. The interest in eco-sustainability is binding, it can be protected through the imposition of obligations or burdens on the company. It does not constitute an aim of the company. The equal dignity of the purpose of «common benefit» with the profit-making one is found only in the special discipline. It is therefore appropriate not to attribute public interest purposes to companies.
