ASI Anti Trust Compliance Policy

Attendees are kindly reminded that the ASI is committed to complying with all relevant antitrust and competition laws and regulations and, to that end, has adopted an Anti Trust Compliance Policy, compliance with which is a condition of continued ASI participation. Failure to abide by these laws can have extremely serious consequences for the ASI and its participants, including heavy fines and, in some jurisdictions, imprisonment for individuals. You are therefore asked to have due regard to this Policy today and in respect of all other ASI activity.

The Policy is available on ASI’s website at: https://aluminium-stewardship.org/about-asi/legal-finance- policies/
