The Forum will not discuss individual business or commercial strategies and all members of the Forum will abide by “Competition Law” and not operate as a cartel or in any co-ordinated way to disadvantage their suppliers or customers. Each member should use the information and learning gained from the Forum to make their own individual decisions.
Non-sensitive data only will be shared. SCALA will collate agreed data and will guarantee confidentiality of that data. This will either (1) already be in the public domain or (2) be historical (minimum one year) or (3) be aggregated to give no indication of specific individual companies.
It is the responsibility of SCALA and each individual member company to ensure they do not breach these guidelines.
