The Impact of Contractual Energy Sustainability on Vulnerable Persons and on Market Regulation

The relevance of the contract as an effective regulation of the energy market and protection of human rights is being increasingly highlighted. Sustainability is a specific condition that all activities must meet to ensure the equitable development of present and future generations. Consequently, the principle of sustainability is now an essential component of corporate due diligence, negotiating relationships in the market, and consumer behaviour. Therefore, it is imperative to analyse how the contract can facilitate sustainable development, contribute to society, and act as an instrument to support vulnerable people.
