Abstract

This chapter presents the theoretical background of the research project. It starts by providing an overview of the most significant contributions, both academic and practitioner, related to corporate governance, and in particular to the board of directors. Then it covers the role of the legislation in determining the configuration of corporate governance, looking at the two main legal traditions, and focusing specifically on the legal and regulatory frameworks in Italy and in the UK. The chapter ends by analyzing how the academic debate has investigated the topic of the governance of sustainability, looking in particular at the role of board committees, and on how these committees are influenced by external factors.
