Sustainability has emerged as a significant focus for competition authorities at both the European and national levels. In France, the Competition Authority (Autorité de la Concurrence) has demonstrated its commitment to supporting stakeholders through an "open door" policy.
While competition and sustainability may sometimes seem at odds, both strive to enhance consumer welfare and foster sustainable innovations.
We invite you to delve into the complex relationship between sustainability and competition rules and policies with our esteemed guest speaker, Elise Provost, adviser to the General Rapporteur and head of the sustainable development network at the French Autorité de la Concurrence. Joining her will be our Fieldfisher experts: Marie-Léonie Vergnerie, Anne-Laure-Hélène des Ylouses, and Tom Pick.
They will explore the wide range of sustainability-related topics, including definitions and scopes, the intersection between sustainability regulations and compliance with competition rules, enforcement practices by competition authorities, as well as practical compliance strategies.
