European Model Clauses
About this tool
The European Model Clauses (EMCs), developed as part of the Responsible Contracting Project, are a set of standardized contractual clauses designed to help companies embed human rights and responsible business conduct into their commercial agreements. These clauses align with international frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines, offering practical legal language that can be adapted to various supply chain contexts. The EMCs aim to bridge the gap between legal compliance and ethical sourcing by providing a clear, enforceable foundation for due diligence, risk mitigation, and accountability in business relationships.
