Description:
Join us 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. 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.
What will you learn? 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 3 “Rs” 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
This webinar offers valuable insights for professionals working within or with companies who are interested in learning about how commercial contracts can be improved to be more effective for protecting people and the planet and for achieving closer alignment with new legislation.
