Responsible Contracting Project

This project addresses human rights challenges in global supply chains by creating practical contractual tools. It has developed a Responsible Contracting Toolkit, that includes model contract clauses, to support more balanced and cooperative relations between buyer and suppliers enabling better outcomes for workers. It also aligns with major international human rights frameworks.

The Toolkit includes:

• Sector-agnostic and sector-specific model contract clauses

• Templates and guidance for developing codes of conduct that adopt a shared-responsibility approach for buyers and suppliers

• Guidance on the how, what, and why of Responsible Contracting adapted for different stakeholders and supply chains

• Policy briefs on legislative developments
