# Further Assurances

## Child’s name

Dominic and Bria's Clause

## Summary

This clause requires the parties to consider the emissions associated with the performance of the agreement. It can be used in any commercial agreement.

## What this clause does

By considering the emissions associated with an action under an agreement, parties are more likely to take steps to mitigate those emissions. The performance of a contract can create emissions in many ways. Each contract will have its own particular emissions profile.

This clause adapts part of \[Nico's Clause\] 'Coolerplate' Clauses (Climate Aligned Boilerplate) for use in Aotearoa New Zealand.

## Clause Content

**1.**  **Further climate assurance**

Each party agrees to take reasonable steps to minimise the \[greenhouse gas emissions\*\] of its activities when performing its obligations under this document.

\* \[*Drafting note: If this clause is being used in a document that contains other TCLP clauses, this could be replaced with the defined term ‘*[*Greenhouse Gas Emissions*](https://glossary.chancerylaneproject.org/term/Greenhouse_Gas_Emissions)*’.*\]
