The project focuses on: (1) the recent EU corporate sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda, (2) the corporate ownership and governance changes in the past decades, and (3) the challenges, controversies and unresolved questions of the stakeholder governance and the emphasis on ESG considerations. The module is built on the book “The European Corporation” (2023), Cambridge University Press, edited by Klaus Gugler and Evgeni Peev, examining corporate ownership and control changes in the past decades. The project is also enriched from the ongoing cooperation in Jean Monnet Corporate Governance and European Integration (CGEUI) network (www.cgeui.org) on the recent EU corporate governance and ESG data, research, and international faculty teaching. The project will apply the following approaches: (i) context-based, (ii) multidisciplinary, (iii) historical, and (iv) digital education. The methodology consists of the following key elements: teaching, research, and events.

The project “The EU Sustainable Corporate Governance” is supported by the Jean Monnet Network action of the Erasmus + Programme of the European Union.
