What We Aim For<br />
In all our business dealings, <strong>Micron</strong> strives to be honest <strong>and</strong> fair. We will vigorously<br />
compete, but at all times fairly compete, complying with all laws protecting<br />
competition <strong>and</strong> the integrity <strong>of</strong> the marketplace.<br />
Competition And Antitrust Laws<br />
We strictly adhere to “competition” laws <strong>and</strong> “antitrust” laws – laws that<br />
protect competition around the world. Competition laws prohibit anticompetitive<br />
agreements, such as price-fixing conspiracies, <strong>and</strong> other conduct, such as predatory<br />
efforts to eliminate competitors. If you have any dealings with customers or suppliers,<br />
you need to know <strong>and</strong> follow these laws.<br />
Facts About Competition Laws:<br />
Competition laws exist around the world. Many countries, the European Union<br />
(“E.U.”) <strong>and</strong> individual states in the U.S. have laws prohibiting anticompetitive<br />
behavior.
