Abstract :Company law regulations establish the responsibility of directors towards the company and its shareholders (and to creditors in case of insolvency). The interests of stakeholder groups, including the interests of employers, the environment and the society considered as irrelevant in terms of company law. Because directors’ responsibilities defined by company law disregard social responsibilities, board of directors and managers cannot enjoy a complete discretion in respect to Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG)-related issues. In the literature, the subject of companies engaging socially responsible conduct mainly addressed by the virtue of business ethics and many of the discussion disregarded the role of company law on the matter. This paper is aimed to identify the roles and responsibilities of directors under Turkish Commercial Code with respect to sustainable companies and specify the conditions for the validity of their decisions on socially responsible conduct.Keywords : Corporate Entity Theories, Corporate Social Responsibility, Turkish Commercial Code, Business Judgment Rule, Environmental-Social- Governance (ESG)
