Reboot Dialogue #15

8/11/2022

 
​Robert C. Hinkley (Australia) in conversation with Nico Andreas Heller
Re-designing the Corporation: Giving It a Conscience
Bob is an American attorney who specializes in corporate law generally and corporate financing specifically. From 2012 to 2020, he provided critical assistance to the US Department of Justice in connection with investigations that recovered more than $US 65 billion from more than a dozen banks for illegal behaviour that led to the financial crisis of 2008.
In this dialogue Bob talks about his idea to improve corporate behaviour by amending the duty of directors in corporate laws throughout the world. Bob calls this idea, the Code for Corporate Citizenship. Existing law provides that directors must “act in the best interests of the corporation.” The Code would add “but not at the expense of the environment, human rights, public health and safety, dignity of employees or welfare of the communities in which the corporation operates.”
More information about Robert C. Hinkley is available here. A recent article explaining the idea of a Code for Corporate Citizenship in greater detail is available here.
