We value our suppliers and the key role they play in giving our customers what they want. That’s why we want to build long-term relationships with strategic partners and have clear and fair terms and conditions.

We want all our relationships to be based on the core principles of sustainability, open and honest communication and fair dealing.

Commitment:

We will both take all steps necessary to ensure that we are fully compliant with applicable competition (anti-trust) laws. 

We will not share confidential information about you with any of your competitors. 

We will also not share with you confidential information we may have about any of your competitors. Equally, you should not share with us any confidential information that you have about our competitors. And in turn you should not share confidential information you have about us with any of our competitors. 

It is against the law for us to agree with you what price we will sell your products at or to have any agreement or arrangement that puts a floor on the prices we sell them at. The same also applies to our customers. 

It is against the law for us to tell them what price they can sell your products at or to require or incentivise them to keep their prices above a certain level. 

We will both ensure that we have provided suitable training on relevant competition (anti-trust) laws to relevant employees within our businesses.
