Transparency not only engenders trust, but allows our stakeholders to interact with the Commission from a position of knowledge and understanding.
Where appropriate the Commission publishes policies which set out how the Commission will approach scenarios that arise in our enforcement and regulatory work. Our policies are reviewed regularly, and new policies added when required.
Cartel Leniency Policy
The Commerce Commission’s Cartel Leniency Policy explains how a company or an individual can apply for conditional immunity or formal cooperation (if immunity is not available) in relation to cartel conduct.
Cooperation Policy
The Commission's Cooperation Policy provides a guide to the cooperation conditions.
Model Litigant Policy
The Commission considers that it is important to have a clear Model Litigant Policy and to commit to acting as a model litigant.
Enforcement Criteria
The Commission uses enforcement criteria to assist it in its discretionary activities when making decisions on whether to open an investigation, and what enforcement action it will take at the end of an investigation.
