The business and human rights (BHR) movement shares several goals with the Benefit Corporation (B Corp) movement: corporations respecting human rights; maintaining a “wide aperture” so that all impacts of a company on people and communities are addressed; and creating rigorous standards of conduct and means of accountability. This paper argues that nonetheless the movements are traveling along parallel tracks and thus missing an opportunity for mutual learning that can improve their effectiveness. The BHR movement can look to B Corps for concrete examples of viable companies that value human rights intrinsically and not just where there is a “business case” to do so. The B Impact Assessment, the B Corp certification tool, can better ensure that B Corps are in fact respecting human rights by adopting BHR standards. And both movements must give greater consideration to the potential contradiction between unlimited scaling—a key goal of B Corps—and the ability of large multinational corporations to respect human rights.

让企业负责：B Corp 运动与商业与人权运动的平行轨道

商业与人权 (BHR) 运动与福利公司 (B Corp) 运动有几个共同目标：公司尊重人权；保持“大光圈”，以便解决公司对人和社区的所有影响；制定严格的行为标准和问责方式。本文认为，尽管如此，这些运动是沿着平行轨道行进的，因此错过了可以提高其有效性的相互学习的机会。BHR 运动可以向 B Corps 寻求切实可行的公司的具体例子，这些公司从本质上重视人权，而不仅仅是在有“商业案例”的情况下这样做。B 公司认证工具 B 影响评估可以通过采用 BHR 标准更好地确保 B 公司实际上尊重人权。
