Sustainability and antitrust law: a contradiction in terms?

This event is organized by the WU's Department of Private Law

What can the legal system contribute to promoting sustainability? Lawyers from all disciplines are currently exploring this question. It is particularly relevant to antitrust law, where a paradigm shift is anticipated. But are there inherent contradictions here? Can the classical antitrust goals of maximizing freedom of competition and consumer welfare still be achieved if sustainability aspects are (or have to be) taken into account equally in the application of the law? WU Professor Georg Eckert explores this question in his lecture.

Lecture:

Georg Eckert, Full Professor, Institute for Civil Law and Civil Procedure, WU Vienna
