civil liability do not resolve the difficulties that may, in practice, impede the control of supply chains
through contracts. Therefore, based on recent empirical research and existing general conditions
used by twelve multinational companies, we offer recommendations that can help companies manage
their supply chains contractually and thus contribute to the effectiveness of the proposed Directive
