Resumo:
The objective of this study was to investigate how spirituality can be integrated into ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) within legal compliance programs, focusing on the realization of personality rights and the strengthening of the principle of human dignity. Using an interdisciplinary approach connecting Theology, Law, and Organizational Management, the study analyzed the practical and theoretical impacts of this integration on corporate environments and governance. The research highlighted that spirituality transcends religiosity and acts as an essential dimension for humanizing organizational relationships. It provides a counterpoint to the dehumanization often present in contemporary corporate practices, fostering a more inclusive, ethical, and collaborative work environment. Additionally, the role of spirituality in expanding the concept of human dignity was emphasized, encompassing not only material aspects but also the subjective and spiritual dimensions of the individual. The study presented the benefits of spiritualized leadership, which strengthens trust and cooperation within teams, contributing to the personal and professional development of employees. It also pointed out the challenges related to implementing spiritualized practices, such as respecting cultural and religious diversity, alongside the need for leadership training and the creation of inclusive policies. As a result, it was found that integrating spirituality into legal compliance programs and ESG criteria not only promotes more ethical and sustainable corporate governance but also reaffirms the centrality of the human being in organizational practices. This approach transforms the corporate environment, aligning efficiency with dignity, and offers a management model committed to human values and social justice.
