The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the increasingly widely promoted concept of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), which is so far missing in Polish conditions, particularly in the context of the concept of the company’s interest. In the paper, we would like to present selected issues, which, in our opinion, are particularly crucial from the perspective of the practice of applying the law and managing companies, especially large public corporations, mostly those listed on the stock exchange. We share our observations as corporate law theorists and practitioners who advise commercial law companies on a daily basis in Poland and abroad, including in countries belonging to more distant cultural circles.
