Contracting for Human Rights and the Environment
Date:
March 21, 2025
Time:
Join us March 21 for an introduction to the work of the Responsible Contracting Project (RCP), whose mission is to improve human rights and environmental outcomes in global supply chains through better contracting practices.
Developed in partnership with the WSBA World Peace Through Law Section and the WSBA Business Law Section.
The RCP team will explain the "what, why, and how" of responsible contracting, how companies often get their contracts wrong, and how adopting RCP's tools and principles can support better outcomes for people and planet, as well as closer alignment with new due diligence legislation and trade sanctions regimes.
At the end of the webinar, participants will understand:
- Why contracts matter for human rights and environmental (HRE) protection and why “traditional” contracts are often ineffective for upholding HRE standards
- The core principles or the three R's of responsible contracting
- What recent due diligence legislation requires companies to do with respect to their contracts and purchasing practices
- RCP’s tools and how they work
