The World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) collects publicly available, non-sensitive information in order to develop benchmarks to improve assessments of performance against sustainability goals. WBA is committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where it operates.

All information relied on by WBA in the course of our activities — including preparing benchmarks, reports, or other materials (the “Content”) — is publicly available or voluntarily provided by participating companies. All information herein is provided “as-is” with no guarantee of completeness, accuracy or timeliness. WBA will not ask for, and you should not provide or share with WBA, or any other company at a WBA event, any non-public competitively or commercial sensitive information. Such information could include current or forward-looking information about pricing, customers, key contract terms, or strategic plans.

Any WBA meetings or events are only to conduct WBA activities. Participants must not use this occasion, or any other WBA event, to:

• Discuss or agree to limit your company’s independent discretion over how you choose to compete, such as by changing your pricing strategy.
• Discuss or agree to refuse to do business with any competitor, customer, or company in your supply chain.
• Exchange non-public, competitively or commercially sensitive information.

Participants in WBA initiatives, including Allies, companies subject to benchmarking, and any other participants, at all times retain sole discretion over whether and how to act on the information WBA provides. WBA does not speak for or represent any Ally, company subject to benchmarking, or any other participant in a WBA initiative or event, nor does any other company or entity speak for or represent WBA.

All WBA Content and activities are for informational purposes only. WBA does not provide, and you should not construe the Content or activities, as investment, financial tax, legal or other advice. WBA is not a proxy advisory firm and does not provide voting recommendations or other advice on management of an investment portfolio. WBA is not an investor and does not acquire or hold the securities of any company with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control.  Participants to the WBA Alliance and WBA Initiatives are independent organisations responsible for their own commercial, investment and voting decisions.

WBA does not act or speak on behalf of its Allies nor any other organisation. No party may claim to represent other Participants, at a WBA Initiative or the WBA Alliance without their express and written consent.

If someone suggests acting inconsistent with these principles during the event, please contact WBA Governance Lead.
