Subject: the “enlightened shareholder value” concept law
In deciding whether a particular course of action promotes the success of the company, directors now have a statutory duty to have regard (amongst other things) to a list of factors, which are:
· the likely consequences of any decision in the long term;
· the interests of the company’s employees;
· the need to foster the company’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others;
· the impact of the company’s operations on the community and the environment;
· the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and
· the need to act fairly as between the members of the company.
This has come to be known as the “enlightened shareholder value” concept. Whilst these interests or aspirations do not qualify the primary duty that the company must be managed in the interests of shareholders, it is assumed that the shareholders are enlightened and will give due recognition to the interests of others. If therefore a board is faced with a decision whether or not to shut down and demolish a factory resulting in a loss of jobs, loss of customers or suppliers, release of dust into the atmosphere and contrary to assurances given to the local community, it must take those matters into account. But if it remains of the view that the proposal is most likely to promote the success of the company, then this is the course it must follow.

Пробовал поиск, читал английский закон о компаниях 2006 г., но как перевести, не знаю. Может, кто-то с этим сталкивался?
