Sustainability and Competition Law—The Transatlantic Divide

Webinar | 05.13.25, 3:00 PM CEST - 4:30 PM CEST

Address

Virtual

Join us for an insightful session on the distinct—and diverging—approaches to sustainability-focused collaboration under competition law on both sides of the Atlantic and what it means for businesses.

Learn how sustainability cooperation is assessed under antitrust laws in the US, EU and the UK, including:

  • How to navigate similarities and differences in the applicable law and enforcement frameworks.
  • How the political shift under the Trump administration affects sustainability cooperation in the US, including by looking at recent lawsuits brought at federal and state level.
  • How the EU Commission and Member States approach sustainability, the legal framework that has been established and the guidance provided by competition law authorities.
  • How the UK’s newly adopted approach fits into this broader landscape.

After providing an overview of the state of play in each of these jurisdictions and identifying the main similarities and differences, our speakers will discuss what businesses need to be aware of when setting up or joining sustainability projects in this complex regulatory landscape.

The session will conclude with a Q & A, where your questions and insights are welcome.

We look forward to your participation in this engaging session.
