Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the results of the second wave of the research project on the governance of sustainability, covering the period between 2013 and 2016. The chapter highlights the evolution of the governance of sustainability at this time, providing an overview of the development paths followed by the most relevant Italian and British firms. In particular, the chapter discusses the growing integration of sustainability within the corporate governance of the major Italian listed firms, due to the revision of the Code of Corporate Governance. The results of a desk analysis indicate that between 2013 and 2016 most Italian top listed firms changed their governance of sustainability, while in the UK there were fewer changes, equally distributed across time.
