In 2023, we were asked by a global pharmaceutical company to introduce new environmental clauses into its template services agreement, to enable the client to meet its own 'green' targets and commitments to third parties when contracting with a range of suppliers.
We drew upon a number of general commercial clauses in the TCLP bank when drafting the new clauses and included provisions, which required the supplier to meet certain reporting obligations.
We also included various sustainability objectives in relation to single use plastics, renewable energy usage, water auditing and the use of electric vehicles in service journeys.
We are also advising a client in the consumer goods sector on implementing its environmental policy and related obligations into a manufacturing agreement with a third-party manufacturer.
