Resumo: | The aim of this essay is to critically analyze the recent field of studies called Business and Human Rights, which addresses the negative impacts of human rights violations in the corporate sphere, housing theoretical discussions, principles, guidelines, regulations and regulations. We developed the essay by focusing on three central themes: the business activities of transnational corporations negatively impact human rights around the world; the initiatives created to address the impact of business on human rights are discursive and, therefore, far from practical; companies and corporations make use of various attempts to abstain from responsibility, even if they make symbolic and material reparations. For this, we illustrate with the abstention of corporate responsibility for human rights violations in the case of the murder of João Alberto de Freitas committed by Carrefour security guards in the parking lot of one of its stores in Porto Alegre, in the year 2020. Throughout the text, we argue that this field reveals the tensions between business and respect for human rights, understanding that it is a minefield and liable to be contested. Our contribution lies in pointing out ways for a more powerful involvement of researchers in the field of management, with the real problems that challenge societies, such as human rights violations within organizations. |

Desenvolvemos o ensaio concentrando-nos em três temas centrais: as atividades de negócios das corporações transnacionais impactam negativamente os direitos humanos em todo o mundo; as iniciativas criadas no sentido de abordar o impacto dos negócios sobre os direitos humanos são discursivas e, portanto, distantes das práticas; empresas e corporações utilizam-se de várias tentativas para a abstenção da responsabilidade, ainda que façam reparações simbólicas e materiais. Para isso, ilustramos com a abstenção da responsabilidade corporativa pelas violações de direitos humanos no caso do assassinato de João Alberto de Freitas cometido por seguranças do Carrefour no estacionamento de uma de suas lojas em Porto Alegre, no ano de 2020. Ao longo do texto, argumentamos que este campo revela as tensões entre negócios e respeito aos direitos humanos, entendendo que se trata de um campo minado e passível de ser contestado. Nossa contribuição reside em apontar caminhos para um envolvimento mais potente dos pesquisadores do campo da gestão, com os problemas reais que desafiam as sociedades, como as violações de direitos humanos no âmbito das organizações.
