As businesses seek new ways to work together to improve environmental sustainability, navigating diverging approaches to competition law in different jurisdictions is becoming increasingly complex.
Many businesses are aiming to improve the sustainability of their operations, as individual companies, through multi-company collaborations and at an industry-wide level.
