Abstract
The article examines the Italian legislation on benefit corporations and its impact on domestic company law. The first part analyzes the new law also in a comparative perspective by facing some models adopted by single American States. The second part explores the possible exceedance of the theories of shareholder value and stake- holder value and proposes the idea that the interest of company – also the one of a benefit corporation – is that of its economic partakers to the increase (or at least to the protection) of the company’s assets.
