IGEA meetings are strictly governed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and the New Zealand Commerce and Fair Trading Acts to prevent anti-competitive behavior.
Discussions regarding price fixing, discount levels, market division, production quotas, or coordinated tendering are expressly prohibited at all IGEA-related gatherings.
Permissible meeting topics are limited to public relations, legislative advocacy, and general industry trends, with any price-related government lobbying required to be framed hypothetically.
The IGEA secretariat must oversee meeting preparation, including circulating an agenda at least two weeks in advance and recording formal minutes.
If prohibited topics arise, participants are required to protest the discussion, leave the meeting, document the incident, and escalate the matter to legal counsel.
Compliance obligations apply to all IGEA-related events, including board meetings, working groups, and social gatherings, effective since the policy's adoption on 7 December 2020.
Directors and members must act as representatives of the association rather than individual companies, while remaining personally and professionally subject to competition law.
