Competition Compliance: Meeting Code of Conduct

British Water acknowledges the benefits that free and fair competition brings to our members to their clients and consumers. British Water is committed to compliance with UK and EU competition law. These rules prohibit, among other practices, agreements and understandings that prevent, restrict or distort competition. It is our policy to take active steps to ensure that our Board of Directors, staff and our members are all aware of their responsibilities under competition law, and that all of our services to our membership and our customers are provided in compliance with the letter and spirit of the law. In accordance with this policy, members and guests who attend meetings or events convened by British Water are required to agree to observe these rules. These apply equally to business tabled at a formal meeting and to informal 'coffee break' conversations.
