Corporate Justice

Corporate justice refers to a shared responsibility, even a moral obligation, between corporate decision-makers, shareholders, employees, external organizational constituencies, stakeholders, government, and society at large to ensure that the corporate decision-making process is fair, civil, responsible, and just. More than that, corporate justice requires that corporations do no harm in their pursuit of profits and that shareholders as well as impacted communities have an affirmative responsibility to facilitate this pursuit.

Corporate justice is more than corporate social responsibility. Corporate justice acknowledges the exciting and important role a successful corporation can play in the lives of the founders, stakeholders, and communities with which that business interfaces and expects that founders, stakeholders, and executives in a business will honor human potential and eschew profits when such derives from unfairness, inequality, danger, and damage.

This book explores each of these themes in depth, providing an insight practically non-existent in corporate law textbooks and treatises available today. The second edition of Corporate Justice updates these themes by examining corporate board diversity and corporate reparations in light of the murder of George Floyd, the myriad corporate commitments to ending institutional racism following global protests, and the resultant backlash against "woke" capitalism and Critical Race Theory.
