The New York Times this week featured a debate on the role of social goals in the profit-oriented corporate environment. David Yosifon of the Santa Clara University School of Law writes that Delaware corporate law holds that directors must make stockholder welfare their sole end, a premise which Lynn Stout of Cornell Law rebuts. She writes that the malleability of “shareholder interest” affords directors ample leeway for incorporating social goals. Stephen Bainbridge of the U.C.L.A. School of Law writes that enforcing shareholder wealth maximization is the only concrete way to ensure accountability. But Tamara Belinfanti of the New York Law School and Jean Rogers of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board argue that the division between profit and social good is an illusion, as social goals can produce positive business outcomes.
