But as a responsible large enterpris, it is contrary to business ethics.
1.August 31, 2010 8:31 pm, a news called "PotashCorp calls BHP’s behaviour 'unethical'"
The hostilities between PotashCorp and its suitor BHP Billiton escalated yesterday when the Canadian fertilir producer accud the multinational miner of “highly unethical” behaviour.
Potash said that BHP had made unsolicited contact with its customers as part of BHP’s $39bn hostile bid for the Canadian company.
Stephen Dowdle, PotashCorp’s sales chief, said in a letter to customers that the company had learnt that BHP had “begun to cold call many of you”.
“We can only assume that BHP Billiton’s purpo is to sow eds of doubt and confusion about the future of PotashCorp,” he said.
The calls, according to the letter, came from Chris Ryder, director of potash marketing for BHP.
Mr Dowdle added: “Since the purpo of BHP Billiton’s call clearly was not to solicit your potash order from BHP Billiton’s Jann project ... we consider this contact to be inappropriate and highly unethical.”
BHP’s Jann project is a large greenfield potash development in Saskatchewan, the Canadian province where PotashCorp is bad.
BHP declined to comment on the latest spat, which follows the group’s $130 a share cash offer to take over PotashCorp, launched a week and a half ago. PotashCorp has rejected the offer as “grossly inadequate”.
People familiar with BHP said that it was not uncommon on a deal of this type to make contact with a range of interested parties.
The calls, they added, were merely a courtesy, offering to answer any questions that customers of the company might have.
Both companies have been on a charm offensive with investors, regulators and customer
s since BHP’s interest in PotashCorp became public. BHP executives were last week in Canada, meeting antitrust authorities and regulators to convince them of the merits of their bid.
PotashCorp’s letter to its customers, which was disclod in a filing to regulators, came after customers alerted the company to the calls from BHP, said one person familiar with the situation. In a swipe at BHP, Mr Dowdle had raid “questions about our ability to do business across the nutrient spectrum as well as the future location and make-up of our sales organisation”.

A Fairfax Media investigation can reveal the allegations are the subject of a probe by the
US Department of Justice and the Australian Federal Police. In respon to a freedom of information request, the Justice Department's criminal division said it was conducting "law enforcement proceedings" involving BHP Billiton.

The probe is linked to the miner's activities in veral countries before 2009, including China and at least two other Asian countries, believed to be Cambodia and the Philippines. Also being examined is a deal in Western Australia involving the miner.
The federal police have reviewed US files and have discovered - according to a briefing given by federal agents to an international bribery taskforce last year - "suspicious transactions that had been recorded as legitimate business payments" by BHP Billiton.
Laws that may have been broken by the mining company, its staff or consultants are the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Australian state or federal corporate and criminal la
