Decarbonisation in seaports and its impact on the logistics chain
Using the Port of Sines (Portugal) as a case study, a project of the PRR, this speech highlights the challenges and impacts of reducing carbon emissions in port operations on the logistic chain. Especially with the worldwide efforts in combating climate change, the findings of the project can be applied to other seaports and can contribute to enabling transport and logistics companies to adapt to upcoming changes.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects in the Supply Chain – CSDDD from a UK perspective
Although the CSDDD is not set to be implemented in the United Kingdom, it will still have a significant impact on English companies trading in the EU. With EU businesses likely to demand compliance from their UK partners, UK companies will need to ensure their ESG policies align with those outlined in the CSDDD to continue trading with EU partners. This may involve revising supply chain practices, improving transparency, and implementing robust due diligence processes to meet EU expectations.

Proactive contracting in the context of EU CSDDD
The EU CSDDD underscores the necessity for companies to integrate sustainability into their policies and management systems, encompassing the identification, prevention, and mitigation of adverse human rights and environmental impacts. Proactive contract theory plays a crucial role in translating these abstract obligations into specific contracting practices, fostering shared responsibility and collaboration in supply chains. This speech is highlighting four ways to promote corporate sustainability due diligence in supply contracts through proactive contracting. A main aspect is therefore shifting from one-sided safeguarding to shared responsibility and collaboration, which concludes in contracts that are more balanced and fairer. Further promotive contract clauses, wherein goals are presented as opportunities and safeguards are expressed as rewards.

Störung der Lieferketten und Haftung für Multimodaltransporte im Rechtsvergleich
Störungen von Lieferketten und dadurch versäumte Lieferfristen können eine Vielzahl an Gründen haben. Darunter fallen Umstände höherer Gewalt, technische Defekte des Transportmittels, Verschulden des Frachtführers uvm. Dieser Vortrag beleuchtet die gesetzliche Haftung des Frachtführers bei Multimodaltransporte in solchen Fällen nach französischem und deutschem Recht.

Höhere Gewalt im internationalen Handel: Wann sind Lieferkettenstörungen (un)vorhersehbar?
Höhere Gewalt war lange Zeit ein wenig bedeutsames Thema. In den letzten Jahren aber wurde diese Rechtsfigur immer häufiger relevant und hat es bis in die Zeitungen gebracht: COVID, Suez-Blockade, Knappheit an Material und logistischen Ressourcen und Hutu-Angriffe auf Handelsschiffe sind Ereignisse der jüngeren Zeit, die weltweit Lieferanten an der vertragskonformen Erbringung ihrer Pflichten hinderten. Für den Verkäufer waren und sind solche Erschwernisse oft unvermeidbar und außerhalb der eigenen Kontrolle. Sind sie aber auch unvorhersehbar? Art. 79 CISG adressiert die Frage der (Un-)Vorhersehbarkeit ausdrücklich, ebenso die Musterklausel der ICC. Auch die UNIDROIT Principles grenzen in Art. 7.1.7 ähnlich ab. In diesem Vortrag befassen wir uns damit, was dem Verkäufer im internationalen Handel abverlangt wird, bevor er ggf. auf Entlastung nach den Grundsätzen der höheren Gewalt hoffen kann.
