We Do What's Right

Competing Fairly in the Marketplace

When you're as strategic and innovative as CDM Smith, you don't have to be afraid of a little competition. In fact, competition is often what drives us to new heights. That's why we believe in competing fairly and complying with all applicable laws governing competition and antitrust.

Roadmap for Success

  • Compete enthusiastically but never make false or deceptive claims about our competition.
  • Fact-find the right way, using only lawful and publicly available sources of information for business intelligence. Respect the confidential information of competitors always.
  • Follow antitrust laws of the United States and all other countries where CDM Smith operates. Contact the Legal Department if you're ever unsure how those laws apply to your work.
  • Use care when speaking with competitors. Avoid making any formal or informal agreements to fix prices, coordinate contract terms, divide territories or suppliers, rig bids or otherwise limit competition. Remember that even a casual conversation can be considered an "agreement."
