Argus Media Events Antitrust Statement

 

Argus Media takes compliance with antitrust and competition law seriously. The purpose of Argus events is to help market participants understand major issues shaping commodity markets. Event sessions will follow the agenda as circulated or updated by Argus from time to time.

Argus reminds all participants at Argus events of the need to be mindful of the requirement to comply with antitrust and competition laws. Participants should not, at or in connection with an Argus event, enter into discussions, make announcements, post information, ask questions or otherwise exchange information, or refer questions to an individual, group, panel or otherwise, which concern the following:

company-specific (whether your own or a competitor’s) prices, including price increases and pricing methods, discounts, terms of sale/business;
individual company data on costs, production capacity (whether increases or reductions), inventory, sales, profit margins or other data that impact on price;
company-specific (whether your own or a competitor’s) business or investment plans whether regarding specific geographic or product markets, territorial or market allocation or particular customers. This includes information about specific company production/capacity increases or reductions; and
any other competitive aspect of an individual company’s operations.

It is the responsibility of each event participant at all times to act in accordance with their own antitrust compliance policies and all applicable laws and to avoid or end any discussion initiated with them in breach of such policies and laws. While Argus is not responsible for what is communicated by event participants and is not able to review all questions asked by, or communications made between, event participants, nevertheless, Argus may remove/delete any content, presentation, question, message or topic displayed or raised at an event and decline to display or refer any questions to a panel or other participants which Argus Media considers could potentially breach antitrust or competition laws.

If you have any concerns or questions about this statement, please contact us at conferencesupport@argusmedia.com
