The chapter explores the role of environmental sustainability within insolvency law. Focusing primarily on Italian and EU legislation, the essay examines whether and to what extent sustainability objectives may bind insolvent undertakings and how they interact with the traditional objective of maximising creditor recovery. Particular attention is paid to the temporal dimension of insolvency decision-making and to the relevance of environmental considerations in the context of pre-pack proceedings, as well as to the legal remedies available to creditors seeking to challenge sustainability-driven decisions by insolvency practitioners.
