The International Distribution Institute (IDI) arranges its annual conference, addressing latest updates on distribution worldwide. Our expert Benedikt Rohrßen hosts the discussion “Working across the sector, with (potential) competitors towards ESG.” and addresses the following topics:
Carbon reduction, reducing waste such as plastics in products and packaging, making products with a longer lifespan or better recyclable. Can you coordinate or even make agreements with competitors for the greater good ESG will bring to the planet? Can you set quality requirements standards or EKO/Green certification procedures to ensure fair play in a sector? A discussion on EU competition law, in light of EU ESG regulations, standardization (such as the EU example for battery chargers) and experiences with justifying horizontal alignment for green purposes. There are many examples, EU and national authority guidelines and enforcement cases to discuss.
