    Las actividades de las empresas están en el origen de muchos daños ambientales que acaban impactando negativamente en los derechos humanos. Diversos tipos de iniciativas de carácter internacional pretenden regular las actuaciones de las empresas para evitar estas consecuencias para el medio ambiente y los derechos humanos. Aunque estos instrumentos internacionales tienen formalmente el carácter de soft law, establecen una serie de deberes (sustantivos y procesales) exigibles a las empresas. Este trabajo de investigación pretende identificar y examinar esos deberes a los efectos de determinar su contenido y alcance a fin de poder compararlos con los exigidos a los Estados en este tipo de situaciones.
