Understand anti-trust laws and uphold fair competitive practices

GMCR competes in the marketplace due to the quality of our product, not as a result of unethical practices. As employees, we are responsible for maintaining this standard by acquiring information about competitors in an ethical manner, by purchasing products and services with a high regard for fair and competitive business practices, and by upholding anti-trust laws that are designed to protect the consumers by prohibiting unreasonable restraints on trade. While these laws are complex and difficult to summarize, at a minimum they prohibit agreements between us and our competitors that affect prices, terms or conditions of sale, or fair competition.

If you have questions about what constitutes unfair business practice associated with our competition, please contact the Chair of the Audit Committee Chair or VP of Human Resources and Organizational Development.
