Consultation description
The call for inputs will run until 10 November 2021.
On 19 July, the BEIS Secretary of State (SoS) commissioned the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to provide advice on how the competition and consumer regimes could better support the UK’s net zero and environmental sustainability goals (including climate adaptation).
The letter asks the CMA to produce advice for the Secretary of State in early 2022 (PDF, 108KB).
The information stakeholders provide in response to this CFI will help inform our advice to government and how the competition and consumer enforcement regimes can better support the government’s Net Zero and sustainability goals.
In accordance with our policy of openness and transparency, we will publish non-confidential versions of responses on our webpages. If your response contains any information that you regard as sensitive and that you would not wish to be published, please provide at the same time a non-confidential version for publication on our webpages which omits that material and which explains why you regard it as sensitive.
The responses to the present CFI may also be shared with BEIS in order to facilitate consideration of the CMA’s advice.
When handling personal data (like your contact details), we comply with data protection law, as set out in the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 and other law designed to protect sensitive information.
For more information about the CMA’s statutory functions, how the CMA processes personal data and your rights relating to that personal data (including your right to complain), please visit the CMA’s Personal Information Charter.
