‘Competition and Sustainability is an important and timely contribution to the ongoing debate about integrating sustainability into competition law. The book succeeds in highlighting the synergies between competition and sustainability while critically addressing the limitations of competition law as a standalone tool for achieving goals such as the UN SDG’s. By digging deep into the analysis, the book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to navigate the complex intersection of competition policy and sustainability.’
