Responsible Contracting Project

The mission of the Responsible Contracting Project is to improve human rights in global supply chains through innovative contracting practices. We develop and disseminate practical contractual tools to support balanced and cooperative relations between commercial actors and better outcomes for workers' human rights. Our interdisciplinary team of experts works hand in hand with various stakeholders—businesses, industry associations, investors, policymakers, civil society organizations, and transparency initiatives —to socialize our Responsible Contracting Toolkit and facilitate the integration of its core principles into supply chain contracting practices and processes.The project is housed at the Center for Corporate Law and Governance at Rutgers Law School in New Jersey.
