Resumo: This thesis discusses the evolving concepts of corporate liability in international supply chains against the backdrop of a comparative analysis between the French Duty of Vigilance Law and the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG). As globalization intensifies trade between the Global North and the Global South, human rights and environmental impact linked to supply chains have become highly contested issues. The research investigates the impact of these two legislative frameworks on corporate behaviors, highlighting their efficacy in promoting adherence and addressing ongoing limitations. Additionally, it evaluates the wider European context with the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), assessing how standardized legal frameworks may improve corporate accountability on a global scale. Modifications in light of the study advocate for broadened parameters of due diligence responsibilities, increased enforcing strategies, and a call for harmonization of domestic legislation with global benchmarks in order to increase transparency and accountability.

À medida que a globalização intensifica o comércio entre o Norte Global e o Sul Global, os direitos humanos e o impacto ambiental ligados às cadeias de abastecimento tornaram-se questões altamente contestadas. O estudo investiga o impacto destes dois quadros legislativos nos comportamentos das empresas, salientando a sua eficácia na promoção da adesão e na resolução das limitações actuais. Além disso, avalia o contexto europeu mais amplo com a implementação da Diretiva relativa ao dever de diligência das empresas em matéria de sustentabilidade (CSDDD), avaliando a forma como os quadros jurídicos normalizados podem melhorar a responsabilidade das empresas à escala global. As alterações introduzidas à luz do estudo defendem parâmetros alargados de responsabilidades de diligência devida, estratégias de aplicação reforçadas e um apelo à harmonização da legislação nacional com referências globais, a fim de aumentar a transparência e a responsabilização.Bright, ClaireRUNLuíza Mateus Gil2024-12-27T17:21:16Z2024-11-282024-11-28T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/176762TID:203773446enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-12-30T01:34:51Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/176762Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T19:20:34.429350Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
