Carbon Neutrality Clause Samples

The Carbon Neutrality clause requires parties to take actions to offset or eliminate their carbon emissions associated with the contract or project. Typically, this involves measuring greenhouse gas emissions, implementing reduction strategies, and purchasing carbon credits to balance any remaining emissions. Its core function is to ensure that the activities under the agreement do not contribute to net increases in atmospheric carbon, supporting environmental sustainability and helping parties meet regulatory or corporate social responsibility goals.

Carbon Neutrality. The Proponent will seek to achieve a goal of carbon neutrality for the overall development of the longwall mining operation which is subsequent to this Project. One example of a recent Xstrata plc undertaking is the abatement strategy for greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from the Bulga Complex in Australia. The primary emphasis is to convert 85 percent of the methane in the drainage gas from the underground workings to carbon dioxide. In addition, it is planned to establish additional woodland as part of the mine site rehabilitation program; this would further mitigate the carbon footprint at the Bulga complex.

Carbon Neutrality. The City and Contractor acknowledge the critical nature of climate change and high level of importance of climate mitigation and leadership. The parties support City and King County community-wide targets for greenhouse gas emissions reductions, which call for a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 and an 80% reduction of emissions by 2050 from a base year of 2007. The Contractor agrees to make good faith efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to achieve a zero net carbon-neutral solid waste services standard over the term of this Contract; provided that Contractor’s failure to achieve such standard shall not be considered a breach of this Contract. The City recognizes the importance of flexibility in implementing efforts which will be successful over the long-term and that emissions associated with landfill disposal may require additional time beyond the initial term of the Contract. The greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts shall be described in a net carbon neutral solid waste services plan. The Contractor shall annually report greenhouse gas emissions associated with the Contract as well as describe its efforts to achieve a zero net carbon-neutral solid waste services standard. The net carbon-neutral standard shall include all emissions from administration, operations, processing and disposal associated with the Contract on an annual basis and shall utilize industry and climate accounting standards and protocols.

  • SUB-CONTRACTING 31.1. The Authority approves the appointment of the sub-contractors specified in Schedule 10 (Approved Sub-contractors) in respect of the obligations specified in that Schedule. 31.2. The Contractor may not sub-contract its obligations under the Framework Agreement to other sub-contractors without the prior written consent of the Authority. Sub-contracting of any part of the Framework Agreement shall not relieve the Contractor of any obligation or duty attributable to the Contractor under the Framework Agreement. The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of its sub-contractors as though they are its own. 31.3. Where the Contractor enters into a sub-contract the Contractor must ensure that a provision is included which: 31.3.1. requires payment to be made of all sums due by the Contractor to the sub- contractor within a specified period not exceeding 30 days from the receipt of a valid invoice as defined by the sub-contract requirements and provides that, where the Authority has made payment to the Contractor in respect of Services and the sub-contractor’s invoice relates to such Services then, to that extent, the invoice must be treated as valid and, provided the Contractor is not exercising a right of retention or set-off in respect of a breach of contract by the sub-contractor or in respect of a sum otherwise due by the sub-contractor to the Contractor, payment must be made to the sub-contractor without deduction; 31.3.2. notifies the sub-contractor that the sub-contract forms part of a larger contract for the benefit of the Authority and that should the sub-contractor have any difficulty in securing the timely payment of an invoice, that matter may be referred by the sub- contractor to the Authority; 31.3.3. requires that all contracts with subcontractors and suppliers which the subcontractor intends to procure, and which the subcontractor has not before the date of this Framework Agreement, already planned to award to a particular supplier are advertised through the Public Contracts Scotland procurement portal (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇) and awarded following a fair, open, transparent and competitive process proportionate to the nature and value of the contract; and 31.3.4. is in the same terms as that set out in this clause 31.3 (including for the avoidance of doubt this clause 31.3.4) subject only to modification to refer to the correct designation of the equivalent party as the Contractor and sub-contractor as the case may be. 31.4. The Contractor shall include in every sub-contract: 31.4.1 a right for the Contractor to terminate that sub-contract if the relevant sub- contractor fails to comply in the performance of its contract with legal obligations in the fields of environmental, social or employment law or if any of the termination events (involving substantial modification of the Contract, contract award despite the existence of exclusion grounds or a serious infringement of EU legal obligations) specified in clause 42.4 occur; and 31.4.2 a requirement that the sub-contractor includes a provision having the same effect as 31.4.1 in any sub-contract which it awards. In this Clause 31.4, ‘sub-contract’ means any contract between two or more contractors, at any stage of remoteness from the Authority in a sub-contracting chain, made wholly or substantially for the purpose of performing (or contributing to the performanace of) the whole or any part of this Framework Agreement. 31.5.

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where Freedom has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to Freedom. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for Freedom (e.g. hairpinning): 1. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to any spare copper that exists to the customer premises. 2. Roll the circuit(s) from the IDLC to an existing DLC that is not integrated. 3. If capacity exists, provide "side-door" porting through the switch. 4. If capacity exists, provide "Digital Access Cross Connect System (DACS)- door" porting (if the IDLC routes through a DACS prior to integration into the switch). 2.6.2 Arrangements 3 and 4 above require the use of a designed circuit. Therefore, non- designed Loops such as the SL1 voice grade and UCL-ND may not be ordered in these cases. 2.6.3 If no alternate facility is available, and upon request from Freedom, and if agreed to by both Parties, BellSouth may utilize its Special Construction (SC) process to determine the additional costs required to provision facilities. Freedom will then have the option of paying the one-time SC rates to place the Loop.
