Roy Shapira: Europe’s Corporate Sustainability Directive and Its Impact on U.S. Board Oversight Duties
Roy Shapira is a Professor of Law at Reichman University in Israel focused on reputation, regulation, and corporate governance.
We explore his recent paper on the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D) and its implications for U.S. corporate directors, particularly in relation to human rights and environmental obligations.
Roy highlights the contrasts between the proactive regulatory environment in Europe and the growing opposition to ESG in the U.S., addressing the legal risks and potential oversight liabilities American directors may face under these new standards. We also examine the impact of recent amendments in Delaware law on inspection rights and the ensuing accountability for directors, alongside geopolitical factors shaping governance strategies.
The episode concludes with insights on trends in board composition and the complexities of navigating corporate culture in today's complex environment.
