“AI and sustainability - cure or curse?”
While AI can help resolve data issues in sustainable investing, it can create problems such as information breaches and inherent bias in data.
Global | Publication | August 2015
An article by our Antitrust & Competition team has been published in the International Law Office (ILO) competition newsletter.
This article comments on the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) plans to investigate Tesco plc over concerns that it had breached the Groceries Code.
A copy of the article, which was published on 9 April 2015, can be accessed below, provided with the kind permission of the publishers, International Law Office.
First GCA investigation may trigger shift in supermarkets' dealings with suppliers
When this article was published, we reported that legislation had been proposed to give the GCA the power to fine UK supermarkets that had breached the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP). Parliament has now approved that legislation meaning that the GCA can now impose penalties on large supermarkets of up to 1% of their total annual UK turnover (not just turnover of groceries), depending on the seriousness of the breach. These new measures operate alongside existing powers to issue supermarkets with recommendations as to their future conduct, and to “name and shame” those that have breached GSCOP. The GCA’s new powers will only apply to breaches that occur after 5 April 2015 – thus it will not apply to the current Tesco investigation.

The proliferation of internet-enabled devices has allowed children to access the internet at an increasingly younger age, often sharing their personal data without fully appreciating the risks and consequences of doing so. Accordingly, organisations that collect children’s personal data online have a shared responsibility to ensure that such personal data is collected with the appropriate consent obtained and is adequately protected, and to allow children to safely participate in the online space.
