Competition Markets Authority
16 August 2023: The CMA has published its Guidance on the application of the Chapter I prohibition in the Competition Act 1998 to horizontal agreements (Guidance on Horizontal Agreements).
Separate to the consultation on a draft version of the Guidance on Horizontal Agreements, the CMA also consulted on draft guidance on the application of the Chapter I prohibition in the Competition Act 1998 to environmental sustainability agreements (Sustainability Guidance).
At the time of both consultations, the CMAs intention was that the Sustainability Guidance and the Guidance on Horizontal Agreements would be integrated into a single document, when finalised.
The CMA now intends to publish the Sustainability Guidance as separate, stand-alone guidance document. A final version of the Sustainability Guidance will be published in due course, and updates will be provided on the separate consultation page: Draft guidance on environmental sustainability agreements
