Quiz Time! What shape is your association's competition policy?

Does your association:

A. Discuss future industry developments during meetings?

B. Collect statistics on your sector’s performance?

C. Discuss association business on WhatsApp?

D. Engage with audiences in Ireland or in the EU?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, ...you should have a robust and responsible posture on competition law. If you don’t, your association could be in breach of competition law and can unwittingly implicate your members in this activity.

The financial implications of a breach can be enough to shutter an association for good, and spread a negative reputational impact to your members and your sector.

When members join your association they entrust you to have a robust, diligent and responsible grasp of competition law across every market you engage with.

Don’t be caught out. Speak to Hexagon about carrying out a 360 degree competition compliance audit of your association.

Reviewing your competition compliance policy, engagement practices and member commitments will ensure that you are on the right side of competition law and will protect you and your members.
