OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Antitrust And Fair Competition

We believe in free and open competition and never engage in improper practices that may limit competition. We never look to gain competitive advantages through unethical or illegal business practices.

Antitrust laws are complex and compliance requirements can vary depending on the circumstances, but in general, the following activities are red flags and should be avoided and, if detected, reported to Internal Audit or Legal.

• Sharing OUC’s competitively sensitive information with a competitor.

• Sharing competitively sensitive information of business partners or other third parties with their competitors.

• Sharing information in industry working groups or associations that could be considered anti-competitive, such as price setting for services or allocating market share.

• Attempting to obtain nonpublic information about competitors from new hires or candidates for employment.

BE RELIABLY ETHICAL:

• Do not enter into agreements with competitors or others to engage in any anti-competitive behavior, including setting prices or dividing up customers, suppliers or markets.

• Do not engage in conversations with competitors about competitively sensitive information.
