In this new paper, published in Environmental Science: Advances, co-authored with University of Amsterdam’s Responsible Business Lab’s Luc Fransen, and building on KI’s Trade Realities paper, we explore how trade flows and the design of new value chain governanance laws may impace policy design.
Policymakers may find the will need to sacrifice one out of three current design features of such legislation: designing legislation unilaterally for their home markets, letting regulation apply to supply chains across the world, or giving firms the ability to freely choose their suppliers. We discuss the different combinations of design options that could advance sustainability in supply chains.
