PORR Cracks Down on Anti-Competitive Behavior Among Employees
As a leading Polish construction company, PORR is taking bold steps to maintain its competitive edge in the market. The company has introduced strict measures to prevent anti-competitive agreements among its employees with third parties, including competitors, suppliers, and customers.
Prohibition of Anti-Competitive Agreements
According to PORR’s stance, any agreement or concerted practice that restricts competition is strictly prohibited. This includes:
- Written or verbal agreements
- Informal understandings with other companies aimed at:
- Fixing prices
- Dividing markets
- Limiting services
Even the appearance of anti-competitive behavior must be avoided by all employees, who are expected to exercise utmost care in their interactions with competitors and other third parties.
Compliance with Competition Laws
PORR’s strict stance is aimed at ensuring compliance with competition laws and preventing any actions that could undermine its market position. The company emphasizes that the prohibition extends to agreements with suppliers and subcontractors, which are deemed to restrict competition if they have the aim or actual effect of influencing prices or conditions offered by those companies to competitors or other third parties.
Consequences for Non-Compliance
To drive home the message, PORR has made it clear that any employee found to be in breach of these guidelines will face serious consequences. The company’s zero-tolerance policy is aimed at maintaining its reputation as a responsible and compliant corporate citizen, while also ensuring that employees are fully aware of their responsibilities in this regard.
A Strong Message to Employees and the Business Community
With its tough stance on anti-competitive behavior, PORR is sending a strong message to its employees and the broader business community: anti-competitive behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances. By taking a proactive approach to preventing anti-competitive agreements, PORR is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining a fair and competitive market environment.
