Resumo(s)
As sustainability concerns increase, competition authorities face the question of how to approach
mergers and agreements that promise environmental benefits. This thesis examines whether
competition authorities should be less restrictive in evaluating such mergers or keep the
traditional requirements. Drawing on the Dutch Sustainability Guidelines, EU drafted Horizontal
Guidelines on sustainability, and real-life cases, I analyze the potential positive effects or
disadvantages of allowing mergers on that basis. Through a theoretical model, I evaluate the
welfare and green effects resulting from these mergers. The findings offer valuable insights into
the role of competition policy in promoting a more sustainable future.
