A competition compliance programme helps a business prevent infringements, spot problems early and show authorities that it takes the law seriously. PAD International Group designs practical programmes and delivers training for management and sales teams working across the UK, the EU, the UAE and Iran.
Why it matters
- Competition authorities can fine companies up to 10% of worldwide turnover for serious infringements.
- In the UK, individuals involved in cartels can face criminal prosecution, and company directors can be disqualified for up to 15 years.
- A credible programme can support leniency applications and may be taken into account when penalties are set.
What a good programme includes
- Commitment from the top: clear leadership support and a named responsible person.
- Risk assessment: identifying where the business meets competitors, such as trade associations, joint bids and information exchange.
- Policies: short, practical rules on contacts with competitors, pricing and distribution.
- Training: tailored sessions for staff most exposed to risk.
- Reporting and review: a route to raise concerns and regular updates as the business changes.
Training we deliver
- Competition law basics for managers and sales teams.
- Dawn raid preparation.
- Distribution and pricing rules for commercial teams.
