Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Company law can and should act as a bridge (rather than a barrier) to progressive corporate climate action.
MoreLong description:
Companies lie at the heart of the climate crisis and are both culpable for, and vulnerable to, its impacts. Rising social and investor concern about the escalating risks of climate change are changing public and investor expectations of businesses and, as a result, corporate approaches to climate change. Dominant corporate norms that put shareholders (and their wealth maximization) at the heart of company law are viewed by many as outdated and in need of reform. Companies and Climate Change analyzes these developments by assessing the regulation and pressures that impact energy companies in the UK, with lessons that apply worldwide. In this work, Lisa Benjamin shows how the Paris Agreement, climate and energy law in the EU and the UK, and transnational human rights and climate litigation, are regulatory and normative developments that illustrate how company law can and should act as a bridge to progressive corporate climate action.
'This fascinating and timely book provides a chilling illustration of how tightly intertwined the global climate emergency is with the core dynamics of corporate governance and shareholder capitalism. It highlights how the traditionally autonomous fields of corporate law, environmental regulation and human rights can no longer safely be confined to their own distinct discursive spaces. As lawyers, scholars, and policymakers in these fields we must all become as multi-faceted in our work as Dr Lisa Benjamin is. No less than the very future of our planet depends on it.' Marc Moore, Professor of Corporate/Financial Law, UCL Faculty of Laws, University College London
