We support the fight against cartels, which restrict competition among suppliers to the detriment of customers.

A Cartel is an agreement, concerted practice or conspiracy among competitors to fix prices, submit collusive tenders, divide or share markets and, more generally, restrict competition.

A Cartel is regarded as the most egregious violation of Anti-Trust laws in most jurisdictions, which may lead to the imposition of significant fines as well as, in certain jurisdictions, criminal penalties.

Involvement in a cartel is unacceptable. It is against our core values of competing freely and fairly, based on the added value of its products and services.

The laws and regulations that sanction cartel conduct are in place in most jurisdictions. These laws and regulations are designed to promote free and fair competition and to protect consumers. Anti-Trust compliance programs are there to detect and prevent cartels.

Conroy Removals commit to legal and ethical behaviour, and to refrain from engaging in any business that will harm the interests of our company, clients, suppliers, or the industry. Conroy Removals will take steps to ensure they are fully infomed of applicable Anti-Trust laws and regulations in connection with cartel conduct and other Anti-Trust violations, and will monitor our employees and business partners to ensure full and continual compliance.

Conroy Removals will ensure that we are aware of all applicable laws and regulations covering anticompetitive practices in all the jurisdictions in which we operate, and that we will obey and uphold those laws and regulations.

Conroy Removals will ensure that we are aware of, and are complying with, applicable laws and regulations in connection with cartels.

As a demonstration of our commitment, Conroy Removals pledge to take a zero- tolerance approach to cartel conduct. At all times, Conroy Removals will act professionally, fairly and with the utmost integrity in all business dealings and relationships. This will apply wherever they operate
