Sustainability Clauses in Supply Chains: Contractual Structure and the Boundaries of Enforcement
Abstract
The article examines the role of private autonomy in implementing sustainability objectives within commercial contracts governing supply-chain relationships. It focuses on the structure and content of sustainability clauses, highlighting issues of contractual imbalance and private enforcement, as well as the limits of extending legal relevance to interests external to the contract, particularly in light of Directive (EU) 2024/1760 (CSDDD).
