Abstract
The Companies Act 2006 enshrines in law the concept of ‘enlightened shareholder value’, a form of corporate social responsibility, in place of a director's traditional common law duty of loyalty. This article demonstrates that the conceptual foundations of the enlightened shareholder value approach are flawed, resulting in a confusing compromise, with potentially damaging efficiency consequences.
