Sostenibilidad Corporativa y Derecho del Trabajo. Una oportunidad para incrementar el valor y disminuir los riesgos de las empresas

Abstract

In this study we will address the labour law and the management and governance model of labour relations that are shaping both Law 11/2018 (with the changes of transposition of the Sustainability Directive of November 2022), as well as the set of international standards of management, good governance and reporting. Information that seems absolutely decisive in the coming years, among many other reasons, because sustainability, in its Environmental, Social and Governance elements, is set to be the natural mechanism for companies to access better financing conditions. But also to prevent and mitigate non-compliance of a labour nature and to contribute effectively to ensuring more decent working conditions. We are talking about aiming for more harmonisation, legal certainty and the provision of a level playing field. We will also test whether this labour reporting orientation can be considered an effective instrument of social legitimisation for any organisation, with the aim of counteracting its risks and improving its performance and economic performance, thereby generating a competitive advantage.
