On 10 September 2021, the European Commission published a Competition Policy Brief ("Policy Brief") on how EU competition rules can complement environmental and climate policies more effectively. The Policy Brief recognises that further guidance is needed on the application of competition law to sustainability initiatives. Similarly, national competition authorities (most notably in the Netherlands, Greece and Austria) have taken steps to clarify the application of competition rules to sustainability agreements.
