What Is the Main Corporate Objective Today?

When discussing a company’s role in sustainable development, we first need to identify the company’s goals or establish new ones.

Depending on the goals, companies use different decision-making models, such as the shareholder model and the stakeholder model. Each model has its pros and cons. However, recently, topics related to ESG and corporate social responsibility have received increasing attention from scholars and practitioners, proving that caring for the interests of stakeholders can impact corporate performance.
