The Chancery Lane Project, a collaborative effort of UK lawyers to develop new contracts and model laws to help fight climate change, has published a a model clause for contracts that would require the contractor to facilitate environmental volunteering opportunities for unemployed people. The clauses will mean that companies willing to contract with public bodies will have to offer volunteer opportunities on environmental projects to people who are unemployed. Public bodies will prioritize companies complying with these obligations.
The model clause is available in the attached volume at page 38 (“Philippe’s clause”).
