论新《公司法》的四项核心原则

在《公司法》迎来第六次修改之际，反思和重塑公司法的核心原则有助于宣誓法律价值，明确立法目标，奠定立法基调，重构法律条文，统领法律解释，提高立法质量，增强公司法全球竞争力。公司法的首要原则是保障公司的生存权与发展权，促进公司可持续发展，增强公司活力。第二原则是保护股东权利，坚持股东中心主义价值观，鼓励投资兴业、避免资本外流。第三原则是尊重公司的债权人，强化交易安全，降低交易成本，加速商事流转，化解金融风险。第四原则是赋能公司社会责任，实现义利并重，打造受人尊重的多赢共享的商业模式，促进经济高质量发展。这些原则和而不同、同频共振，既应载于公司法总则，更应贯穿于全部公司法规范体系。

The Four Core Principles of New Corporate Law

As the Corporate Law is facing the sixth reform, reflection and re-orientation of its core principles will help to declare legal values, clarify legislative goals, set legislative keynote, restructure legal language, guide legal interpretation, improve legislative quality, and increase its global competitiveness. The primary principle is to safeguard corporate right to survive and thrive, facilitate corporate sustainable growth and strengthen corporate vitality. The second principle is to protect shareholders’ rights, persevere the value of shareholder primacy, encourage investment and entrepreneurship, and prevent capital migration. The third one is to respect corporate creditor’s rights, secure transactions, reduce transaction cost, activate transactions, and curb financial risks. The fourth one is to empower corporate social responsibility, balance fairness and efficiency, cultivate well respected and inclusive business models, and promote high-quality economic development. The four compatible principles should be articulated and reflected both in the general provisions and the whole system of Corporate Law.
