Directors of a public benefit corporation must consider the company’s stated public benefit and the interests of other stakeholders alongside shareholders’ financial interests. Stakeholders may include employees, customers, communities, and the environment. This responsibility means directors must weigh how business decisions affect the company’s broader mission rather than focusing exclusively on maximizing financial returns for shareholders.
