The Public Ministry of Labor filed public civil actions against Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, BTG Pactual, Caixa Econômica Federal, Itaú, Safra and Santander. According to the agency, banks neglected the socio-environmental risk when granting credit to businesses related to the exploitation of slave labor and other human rights violations. reproduction Reproduction MPT wants banks to insert clauses recognizing socio-environmental obligations into contracts related to granting credit According to the MPT, Bradesco, Banco do Brasil and Santander granted credit to customers who were on the federal government's "dirty list" of slave labor, which violates resolution 3,876/2010 of the National Monetary Council. The first two, according to the MPT, repeatedly made loans to clients who were on the list of employers who subjected workers to conditions similar to slavery.
Caixa, Banco Safra, BTG Pactual and Itaú are accused of not adopting any actions to identify, prevent and control the risks resulting from child labor, deaths in the workplace, discriminatory practices or any other serious labor problem that affects fundamental rights of the human person. According to the MPT, the last three never denied credit to anyone due to existing socio-environmental risk, no matter how serious the violations committed by the Chinese Malaysia Phone Number List person interested in the credit. "It was discovered that there were irregularities, and most of the socio-environmental responsibility actions announced by financial institutions did not correspond to reality, and were not converted into concrete actions", said the MPT in a note. Socio-environmental risk The Public Ministry of Labor asked the Court to order banks to identify the socio-environmental risk related to human rights violations of a labor nature, including slave labor, human trafficking, child labor, discrimination and moral and sexual harassment.
The MPT also asked banks to include in their contracts, related to the granting of credit and financing, clauses recognizing socio-environmental obligations, as well as consequences and sanctions in the event of non-compliance, applying punishments whenever irregularities are detected.This is what judge Marcelo Semer’s doctoral thesis shows. In an interview with ConJur , he states that the phenomenon can be explained with two concepts: moral panic and state of denial. In the first, judges see trafficking, one of the objects of study, as the pillar of major crime. Thus, when faced with minor conduct, the judge continues to set high sentences and refuse minor ones.After a few decades, as seen with what was revealed by the “lava jet” operation, there is no accurate perception of the effectiveness of this type of policy, despite the large costs involved in its implementation.
