This study aims to develop normative guidelines for Brazil to overcome a legislative gap in a specific area. These guidelines are based on an in-depth analysis of due diligence from the perspective of soft and hard lawsIn this context, due diligence is defined as assessing and managing the risks of human rights violations in supply and value chains, which covers the identification, prevention and mitigation of these risks. It then suggests the development of rules on the burden of proof in cases of human rights violations in the said supply and value chains, intending to ensure that companies are held accountable for their actions and that workers have access to justice. Considering this scenario, the main objective of this investigation is to analyze due diligence in supply and value chains from the perspective of soft and hard laws and propose normative guidelines on the subject to overcome the national legislative gap. The specific objectives are the correct conceptualization of due diligence and the establishment of rules regarding the burden of proof in cases of human rights violations in supply and value chains. The purpose is to provide a safer regulatory environment for both workers and the business community. Then, a Bill is proposed to address both the need to regulate due diligence and to secure legal certainty related to the topic. Finally, a “businesses and human rights” seal is suggested. This is intended to be granted to those companies with proven responsible business conduct, in order to provide for within a hard law, the presence of a soft law article. The investigation seeks to contribute to resolving the lack of binding regulations on due diligence in Brazil, placing the country at the forefront of the topic in Latin America. The methodology uses deductive (reasoning from the general to the particular), dialectical (contraposition between thesis and antithesis), and historical-sociological (investigation of facts, processes, and institutions over time) methods. The investigation is also carried out with the support of analysis of the literature, legal scholarship available as well as precedents research on the subject, which substantiated the analyses and conclusions achieved
