How Corporate Counsel Can Use Contracts to Manage ESG in Supply Chains

How Corporate Counsel Can Use Contracts to Manage ESG in Supply Chains a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

Corporate Counsel face the challenge of preparing for the enforcement of domestic and international law requiring the assessment, mitigation and removal of human rights abuses and environmental risks in complex supply chains. The rise in WROs, questions navigating guidance from the US Customs and Border Protection with respect to UFLPA enforcement, and current demand from various stakeholders for reliable human rights and environmental data makes this challenge even more pressing.


This self-paced course offers a practical tool to help buyers and sellers address these compliance risks and acquire the necessary data with model supply chain contract clauses drafted by a working group formed by the American Bar Association Business Law Section.


Three practical tools are covered: (1) the model clauses, (2) guidance for creating an enforceable supplier code, and (3) a novel buyer code of conduct. Modular materials, designed to be adaptable for the varying needs of corporate counsel in different sectors, are already available on the ACC website and will be reviewed and explained.


Overview:

  • Six-module self-paced course
  • Each module will feature a 15-20-minute video with specific examples of human rights challenges within complex supply chains and the use of model contract clauses to address such challenges and to generate the data and documentation required by evolving ESG requirements and nonfinancial reporting obligations.
