“Sustainable” enterprises – guidelines and prospects

A research study collection curated by Sapienza University of Rome focuses on a major issue for development

 

Sustainability is the goal of all production organisations that wish to be in tune with contemporary themes. An achievable goal, no doubt – but even before pursuing it, its meaning needs to be fully understood as, after all, though the concept appears simple it does not follow it will be easy to attain. Indeed, while we should be able to reconcile good business practices with financial (and social) needs, making sure not to negatively affect the environment and its resources – which are becoming increasingly key to development – all this requires some precise guidelines, too. This is the topic investigated by a study team driven by doctorate-level activities in the field of private market law, undertaken in various Italian universities, a team now centrally coordinated by the Essence-Lab2 Laboratory and that, supervised by Giuseppina Capaldo (Sapienza University), has already published a first set of research papers.

These papers have been collected in Iniziativa economica privata e mercato unico sostenibile (Private economic initiatives and a sustainable single market) and expound on the need to explore and rebuild the notions of sustainability – in environmental, economic and social terms – as well as of sustainable development, with the aim of identifying the principles that may guide the relation between sustainability and private law.

Thus, the collection starts by framing the topic of governance in private institutions within the context of a sustainable single market, before proceeding with an analysis of the relationships between “circular economy” and “common property”. The work then goes on to explore traits more related to legal concepts: “environmentally-oriented” contracts drawn up “on solidarity grounds”; the path we should follow to determine the rights of “sustainable consumers”; issues relating to investments, choices and guidelines; matters pertaining the information that consumers should receive.

The papers collected by Capaldo build some solid foundations useful to the establishment – also in legal terms – of a sustainable corporate culture at European level, too, as the need for clear and applicable policies continues to increase.
