Fair Competition

The Company is dedicated to delivering high-quality and innovative products and services that exceed customer expectations—all at competitive prices. The Company champions fair and robust competition, ensuring customers benefit from choice and transparency in a free-market economy. With that in mind, the Company prohibits agreements or arrangements with competitors that fix prices, coordinate bids, allocate customers or sales territories, or otherwise eliminate or restrict competition for its goods or services.

You ensure fair competition by ensuring all agreements and understandings are made independently and in full compliance with antitrust laws. Do not receive, share, or exchange sensitive competitive information—including customer details, pricing, bids, distribution strategies, profits, market share, territories, products, and sales terms—with other industry players. You also foster responsible relationships across the industry by steering clear of interactions with competitors that could suggest improper agreements or misunderstandings.

The Company also understands the importance of protecting competition in labor markets. Accordingly, recruiting and hiring practices are designed to promote free and fair competition for workers, which furthers innovation and productivity.
