The Autorité de la concurrence launches a public consultation as part of a review of informal guidance in the area of sustainability

As part of its “open door” policy, the Autorité has encouraged – since May 2024 – undertakings, professional bodies and non-governmental organisations wishing to develop projects with a sustainability objective to get in touch. In order to better support undertakings in their efforts, the Autorité offers a flexible framework in which they can submit a request for guidance in assessing the compatibility of their projects with competition rules.

Two years after the adoption of the framework, the Autorité is undertaking an initial review of the tool and is launching a public consultation to seek stakeholders’ feedback, regardless of whether they have used the tool.

The public consultation will run until 31 July 2026.

Any stakeholders that wish to discuss the tool, in addition to the questionnaire itself, can also contact the General Rapporteur at the following address: developpement-durable@autoritedelaconcurrence.fr.
