A BDO Legal Guide to the S In ESG: Green Clauses in Employment Contracts
A BDO Legal Guide to the S In ESG: Green Clauses in Employment Contracts
Sustainability or ESG (Environment, Social & Governance) is increasingly on the agenda of organisations. This can be due to intrinsic motivation or the increase in laws and regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive “CSRD”. Questions from clients, suppliers and employees about an organisations’ sustainability goals can also play a role in this. Sustainable or “green” employment conditions can be a way to give substance to the “S” (social) in ESG.
To aid in this understanding, we are delighted to present our “A BDO Legal Guide to the S In ESG: Green Clauses in Employment Contracts”. This publication outlines how integrating sustainable practices within personnel policies can not only comply with new laws but also improve employee attraction and retention by aligning with sustainability values. Additionally, it covers practical ways to implement these green employment conditions, the benefits to employers, and addresses legal and tax considerations that companies must navigate when updating employment contracts within the European Union.
We invite you to read through our publication, which serves as reference for companies to understand the importance of incorporating sustainability and ESG factors into organisational strategies, with a focus on compliance and the enhancement of personnel policies under directives like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
