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, more responsible 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 the planet, as well as closer alignment with new due diligence legislation and trade sanctions regimes.
What will you learn?
At the end of the briefing, participants will understand:
- Why contracts matter for protecting human rights and the environment (HRE) 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.
