In den letzten Jahren mehren sich Forderungen, dass private Unternehmen am Gemeinwohl orientiert wirtschaften und damit ihrer Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) nachkommen sollen. Mit der CSR-Richtlinie hat diese Diskussion Einzug in das Aktien-, Bilanz- und Kapitalmarktrecht gehalten. Patrick A. Hell nimmt diese Richtlinie, die kapitalmarktorientierte Unternehmen zur Veroffentlichung nichtfinanzieller Informationen zwingt, zum Ausgangspunkt seiner Untersuchung. Dabei bereitet er die Grundlage fur die Analyse des geltenden Rechts durch eine rechtshistorische, rechtsfunktionale und rechtsokonomische Darstellung nichtfinanzieller Publizitat. Besonderen Raum nehmen bei den Ausfuhrungen zum geltenden Recht die Auswirkungen der bilanzrechtlichen Vorschriften auf das Aktienrecht ein. Der rechtsvergleichende Blick auf das US-amerikanische Recht fuhrt zu einer kritischen Betrachtung des europaischen Ansatzes nichtfinanzieller Pflichtpublizitat.
