Sustainable Development. 4.1 The Authority will review the Contractor’s Sustainable Development Policy Statement and Sustainable Development Plan submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the Schedule (Sustainable Development Requirements) and then at least annually thereafter.
4.2 Sustainable Procurement Risk Assessment Methodology (SPRAM) is a tool used by the Authority to identify and mitigate any potential risks to sustainability in contracts. The process requires that each Contract be assessed for its potential social, economic and environmental risks, throughout the various stages of its lifetime. Where risks are identified, appropriate mitigation action is required to reduce or eliminate the risk to sustainability. The Authority may at times require input from the Contractor in order to ensure that this process is given the required levels of consideration.
Sustainable Development. 1. The Parties reaffirm that the objective of sustainable development is to be applied and integrated at every level of their economic partnership, in fulfilment of the overarching commitments set out in Articles 1, 2 and 9 of the Cotonou Agreement, and especially the general commitment to reducing and eventually eradicating poverty in a way that is consistent with the objectives of sustainable development.
2. The Parties understand this objective to apply in the case of the present Economic Partnership Agreement as a commitment that:
(a) the application of this Agreement shall fully take into account the human, cultural, economic, social, health and environmental best interests of their respective population and of future generations;
(b) decision-taking methods shall embrace the fundamental principles of ownership, participation and dialogue.
3. As a result the Parties agree to work cooperatively towards the realisation of a sustainable development centred on the human person, who is the main beneficiary of development.
Sustainable Development. 19.1 The Supplier shall comply in all material respects with applicable environmental and social Law requirements in force from time to time in relation to the Services. Where the provisions of any such Law are implemented by the use of voluntary agreements, the Supplier shall comply with such agreements as if they were incorporated into English law subject to those voluntary agreements being cited in the Specification and Tender Response Document. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Supplier shall:
19.1.1 comply with all Policies and/or procedures and requirements set out in the Specification and Tender Response Document in relation to any stated environmental and social requirements, characteristics and impacts of the Services and the Supplier’s supply chain;
19.1.2 maintain relevant policy statements documenting the Supplier’s significant social and environmental aspects as relevant to the Services being provided and as proportionate to the nature and scale of the Supplier’s business operations; and
19.1.3 maintain plans and procedures that support the commitments made as part of the Supplier’s significant social and environmental policies, as referred to at Clause 19.1.2 of this Schedule 2.
19.2 The Supplier shall meet reasonable requests by the Authority for information evidencing the Supplier’s compliance with the provisions of Clause 19 of this Schedule 2.
Sustainable Development. 28.1 The Practitioner acknowledges that AXA PPP adheres to certain principles and practices designed to ensure that AXA PPP does business in a socially responsible manner by promoting sustainable development in its business through commitments towards its principal stakeholders (clients, suppliers, employees, environment, shareholders and community) as more fully set forth in the AXA Compliance and Ethics Guide located at xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/en/governance/disclosure/ethics. AXA PPP encourages the parties with whom it contracts to be socially and environmentally responsible and, in particular, seeks open dialogue with them on these issues. AXA PPP reserves its right to terminate this Agreement for convenience without liability of any kind (other than payment of amounts due and owing for Treatment provided through the date of termination) and/or implement an AXA Group-wide prohibition on entering into future contracts with the Practitioner in the event AXA PPP determines, after discussion with the Practitioner, that the Practitioner’s business practices are contrary to the principles and practices set forth in the AXA Compliance and Ethics Guide.
28.2 In addition, as part of AXA PPP's principles and practices of sustainable development, AXA PPP requires parties with whom it contracts to observe the following three main specific International Labour Organization (ILO) principles: (i) refrain from using, or accepting that their own suppliers and sub-contractors make use of child labour (under 15 years of age) or forced labour; (ii) ensure staff safe and healthy working conditions and environment, respecting individual and collective liberties; and (iii) promote non-discrimination (sex, race, religion or political conviction) as regards staff recruitment and management. For more information, see the ILO website: xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/public/english/standards/index.htm. In the event that AXA PPP notifies the Practitioner or the Practitioner becomes aware that any of its practice is contrary to the foregoing ILO principles, the Practitioner agrees to remedy the practice in question and notify AXA PPP of the solution. In the event that the Practitioner does not appropriately address the issue in question or there are subsequent repeated violations, AXA PPP reserves its right to terminate this Agreement for convenience without liability of any kind (other than payment of amounts due and owing for services rendered through the date of termination).
