Sustainability Commitments in Contracts
Take your business forward with sustainability in mind.
Whether it is your own ambitions or regulatory requirements that are behind your endeavour to maintain sustainability in your business, our team of experts assists you in ensuring that your contracts are drafted to take your business forward with sustainability in mind.
We ensure that commercial agreements between you and your business partners include clauses and commitments that ensure sustainability throughout the value chain. With your specific business in mind, we establish Codes of Conduct and include provisions in your contracts that ensure that your contractual partners measure, manage and report on the sustainability-related commitments you have made. We also incorporate mechanisms that allow you to review and audit the fulfilment of such undertakings, as well as cancel or terminate a contract if the contractual partner does not maintain the agreed standard in its sustainability commitment.
We also assist you in establishing complaints mechanisms for workers in the supply chain to ensure that your organisation meets the requirements from current and future legislation to address adverse social impacts such as forced- and child labour.
