We believe in competing freely, ethically, and fairly, based solely on the quality, value, and reliability of our services. Participation in cartel arrangements or any conduct that restricts fair competition goes against our core values and business principles.

We actively ensure awareness of relevant anti-trust regulations and monitor our internal teams and business partners to maintain continuous compliance.

Our Competition Principles

By working with or representing Master Art Logistics Pvt. Ltd., you agree to the following commitments:

• Never engage, directly or indirectly (including through agents, suppliers, or customers), in any discussion or arrangement with actual or potential competitors that could lead to cartel behavior.
• Never enter into formal or informal agreements—whether written or verbal—with competitors relating to sensitive competitive matters, including:
  • Price fixing or price coordination
  • Allocation of markets, customers, or territories
  • Manipulation or rigging of bidding or tender processes
• Immediately report any attempt, indication, or suspicion of anti-competitive conduct by competitors or third parties in line with the company’s internal reporting procedures and, where required, to the appropriate authorities.
• Avoid participation in trade association meetings or industry forums where competitively sensitive topics are discussed. If such topics arise, employees must request that the discussion stop immediately. If it continues, they must leave the meeting and request that their departure be formally recorded in the meeting minutes.
• Ensure that all communications—including emails, messages, documents, presentations, discussions, and public statements—are professional, accurate, and free from language that could be misunderstood or misinterpreted by regulators or competition authorities.
• Maintain full independence in pricing, bidding, and commercial decision-making for all products and services.
• Limit the exchange of information with competitors or third parties during commercial negotiations strictly to what is necessary to evaluate or complete a legitimate transaction.
