Philippe’s clause
Full name
Contractor’s environmental obligations (in public tender invitations)
Practice Area / Sector
Commercial, Public Sector Procurement
People who are not working may have time to use to protect the environment and engage with their local communities.
Issue
Incentivising people who are not working to undertake volunteer work to improve the environment and mitigate climate change impacts. Incentivising companies responding to public tender invitations to provide volunteer opportunities to improve the environment and mitigate climate change impacts. Retirees, prisoners, stay-at-home parents, students do not form part of the workforce and may therefore feel excluded from society. It may help these individuals to have a sense of purpose and not to feel lonely if they can work on projects that improve the environment and mitigate climate change impacts. Companies working for a public body should contribute to the local community’s work to improve the environment and mitigate climate change impacts. The clauses will create relationships between people at a local level. They will also create opportunities to diversify people’s skills and create a bridge between social classes. They will create a cheaper workforce for governments and companies to tackle climate change. Being involved in these projects will foster a sense of purpose and belonging. These clauses will ensure companies are committed and promote circular economy.
