Competition and Anti-trust Policy

Principles

We ensure we comply with all applicable competition laws in the markets in which we operate.
If we are unsure whether our proposed market conduct is appropriate, we seek advice before proceeding.

not agree with our competitors not to compete with each other (e.g., by agreeing to fix prices or by colluding on competitive bids);
make sure all other agreements do not have the effect of limiting competition without seeking legal advice;
keep Competitively Sensitive Information confidential unless authorised by the legal team and with appropriate safeguards in place;
seek advice if another party discloses Competitively Sensitive Information to us or suggests entering into arrangements that may be anti-competitive;
ensure that we compete on the merits of our products and do not use unfair means of competition; and
read the introduction to our Code and Group Policies to understand who they apply to and the consequences for breaching them.
