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 model clause setting legally enforceable environmental improvement standards in mainstream supply contracts. This clause will create auditable transparency of an organisation’s environmental impact, emissions and supply chain, and will build in long term environmental improvements and transparency into supply agreements.
The model clause is available in the attached volume at page 22 (“Teddie’s Clause”).
