Essential Antitrust #35: Gender Inclusive Antitrust Toolkit: a new lens for policy and enforcement

The Freshfields Podcast

In September 2023, the OECD and Canadian Competition Bureau published the Gender Inclusive Antitrust Toolkit. Designed to help competition authorities apply a gender lens to enforcement, the toolkit features key conclusions on how gender can be factored into merger review, evaluation of competitive effects in conduct investigations, detection of cartels and broader public interest considerations.

Our host Jenn Mellott unpacks these important and timely findings in this episode of Essential Antitrust, joined by Nicholas French, partner in London, Vanessa van Weelden, principal associate in Brussels and Morag Elwis, associate in Silicon Valley. Together, they offer insights on how the toolkit may impact competition authorities and private companies.
