La tutela del Derecho al Medioambiente frente a la responsabilidad empresarial de los grupos de sociedades

Abstract

El presente artículo centra su análisis en el derecho al medioambiente como derecho humano universal y su protección frente a los supuestos de responsabilidad que se desencadenan bajo una relación de grupo. Asimismo, se examinan los principales mecanismos jurídicos que permiten articular una posible comunicación de responsabilidad entre la sociedad filial explotadora de la actividad y la empresa matriz del grupo. Concluye el estudio con una reflexión sobre la conveniencia de extender en sede medioambiental los criterios interpretativos adoptados desde otros campos de la responsabilidad extracontractual (vgr. Derecho de la Competencia) a fin de alcanzar un régimen de responsabilidad extracontractual común en materia de grupos societarios ------------------- ABSTRACT This article focuses its analysis on the right to the environment as a universal human right and its protection against liability assumptions that are triggered under a group relationship. It also examines the main legal mechanisms for articulating a possible communication of liability between companies. The study concludes with a reflection on the advisability of extending the interpretative criteria adopted in other areas of non-contractual liability to the environmental field (e.g. Competition Law) in order to achieve a common non contractual liability regime for corporate groups.
