Training Outlines

Introduction

Sustainability and environmental, social and governance commitments increasingly shape supplier relationships, financing conditions, regulatory exposure and corporate reputation. Effective ESG clauses must translate policy ambitions into proportionate, measurable and enforceable contractual obligations without creating vague promises or unmanageable liability.

Participants will connect due diligence, performance standards, data rights, remediation, incentives and termination mechanisms to credible contract governance across complex value chains.
