As a global company, we are subject to competition laws of every country where we operate. Competition laws promote open competition in the marketplace and protect us from unfair practices.

At Celanese, we compete and win business fairly. We naturally differentiate ourselves from our competitors by creating products that benefit the world and generate value for our shareholders and our customers.

We compete vigorously and ethically, and we win.

We are a customer-focused company, and we protect our customers’ confidential information just like it were our own.

We gather competitive information such as competitive market pricing, product quality or specifications of our competitors’ products through proper channels. We never get this information through direct contact with a competitor. In fact, it’s always important to have a discussion with our Legal team before we ever have contact with our competitors.

At Celanese, we participate in a number of external activities such as trade shows. As representatives of our Company, it is critical that when we go to trade shows we are clear with whom we work for and we project the image that we want from a Company perspective to those we engage with.

If you have any questions or concerns about competition law, please talk with your supervisor or a Celanese lawyer.

Open communication will help us to remain in compliance with competition laws and help us to achieve our vision of being the first-choice chemical solution provider.

Thank you.

At Celanese we're committed to working with integrity, following our company policies, and complying with the law. We win business because of the quality of our products and the solutions we bring to our customers….never by competing unfairly or violating the law.

Competition laws, also known as antitrust laws, are intended to protect consumers from unfair practices. Every Celanese director, officer, and employee is responsible for complying with these laws wherever we do business.

As you conduct business each day, use the Celanese Competition Law Guide as a resource. It will help you understand your role in ensuring that our commercial activities are in compliance with applicable competition laws. This interactive Guide is organized by topic, so you can easily find information relevant to your situation. This Guide may not address every specific situation, but it does explain our philosophy in a way that will help you identify potential antitrust concerns and determine the best way to proceed.

If you ever have questions about this guidance, please contact the Law Department or any member of our senior management team. If you believe that conduct is taking place that is inconsistent with this guidance, please contact me directly.

We also have a helpline that you can use to raise concerns, and if you feel more comfortable remaining anonymous, you may certainly do so. We take all of your concerns seriously and we look into every concern that is raised. We do not tolerate any retaliation for raising issues in good faith.

We should all be proud to work for a company that wins business through vigorous, fair, and honest competition. Because how we do business really does matter.

Thank you for your time and commitment to compliance.
