PLATTS COMPLAINTS HANDLING POLICY


Platts maintains a complaints handling policy by which anyone may submit a complaint regarding any issue relating to our price assessments and related methodologies.


  • All complaints will be acknowledged in writing by Platts within three (3) business days of receipt.
  • Platts will assign an individual to investigate any complaint and determine an appropriate course of action. The complaint handler will not have been directly involved in the assessment process.
  • Platts will seek to resolve the complaint as quickly as possible. In most cases, Platts will provide a written response to the Complainant within twenty five (25) business days from the date of receipt of the complaint by Platts explaining any course of action being taken or recommended by Platts. However, if the scope of the complaint demands further investigation after twenty five (25) business days Platts will write to the complainant explaining why the matter has not been resolved and indicating when a final response is likely to be made.
  • A complaint may be referred to S&P Global's Legal Department where, for example, a complaint alleges fraud, ethical lapses, libel in Platts' publications, restraint of trade, etc.
  • Where a complaint regarding a specific price assessment is determined by Platts to be valid, Platts reserves the right to exclude any retroactive price adjustments to price assessments.
  • Should a complainant be dissatisfied with the way a complaint has been handled by Platts, within twenty five (25) business days from the time of the original complaint decision by Platts the complaint may be referred to an independent third party.
  • The Independent Complaint Reviewer will investigate the complaint and provide a written response to the complainant within forty (40) business days from the date of referral.
  • Platts retains all information pertaining to each complaint for a minimum period of five (5) years.
