What would happen if every commercial contract were rewired with the planet in mind? We could make contracts a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. On Contracts for the Climate, we introduce you to The Chancery Lane Project’s (TCLP’s) precedent climate clauses – and help you to get them into your contracts. In each episode, we address one big climate problem. Then we introduce a TCLP clause designed to fix that problem. Join us as we walk through the opportunity presented by each clause, who can use it and how it could slot into a wider sustainability strategy.

S1E4: transparency in the supply of renewable energy

In this episode, Becky speaks with Tabitha Gould and Isobel Annan from Burges Salmon and Owen Collins from Matheson. They discuss Ayshe’s Clause, a clause which…

Slots into: power purchase agreements, heads of terms, design and build contracts (including FIDIC or JCT contracts), or supply agreements.
Tackles the climate issue of: high emissions and human rights abuses in renewable energy supply chains.
Creates a solution by: providing transparency to parties in those supply chains, enabling them to choose and use renewable energy assets (solar panels, wind turbines etc) with lower carbon emissions and to eradicate forced labour and modern slavery.

For an explanation of what the clause does, skip to 12:58. For tips on how to negotiate this clause into a contract, go to 14:16.
