Contractual demands to prepare for

  • A supplier code of conduct and contractual assurances on human-rights and environmental standards
  • Traceability and disclosure of your own upstream suppliers and inputs
  • Audit or assessment rights, and periodic third-party audits
  • Corrective-action and remediation commitments where harms are identified
  • Cascading of equivalent obligations to your own suppliers
