Effizienz, Nachhaltigkeit und Gerechtigkeit dank Konzernverantwortung? Eine rechtsökonomische Analyse zur transnationalen Wirtschaftsweise

This dissertation examines the still-emerging field of transnational corporate responsibility and focuses on the question of how this form of responsibility should be regulated. The work adopts a law and economics approach which, when considering the environment, initially follows neoclassical theory but goes beyond it in key respects when examining human rights. Based on a positive and normative analysis of the Swiss norms and the European Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, ten guiding principles for regulating transnational corporate responsibility are ultimately formulated, and a new model of corporate responsibility is proposed.
