Abstract: Abstract The challenge for a more sustainable maritime transport is above all a matter of corporate governance of transport companies. All the recent developments of Italian and European Business Law highlight that the most effective driver toward sustainability is the corporate structure, including ESG committees, corporate internal controls, and dialogues with institutional investors and other stakeholders. As confirmed by the new Dutch Corporate Governance Code, sustainable long-term value creation also requires awareness and anticipation of developments in new technologies and changes to business models and associated risks, including cybersecurity, supplier and chain dependencies, data protection, and ethically responsible use of new technologies. The chapter aims at focusing these topics from a corporate law perspective, with reference to the European Taxonomy Regulation (and the definition of economic activities which may qualify as “contributing substantially to the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources”), as well as to the new EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
