ASSESSMENT CYCLE
2025 ASSESSMENT
PRINCIPAL RISK AREA
The Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) promotes companies’ respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. This statement describes our organisation, governance, due diligence, findings and actions for the 2025 reporting period.
The Act requires covered companies to take a systematic approach to safeguarding human rights and working conditions throughout their operations and value chains.
This includes identifying where the company causes, contributes to, or is directly linked to actual or potential adverse impacts; taking appropriate measures; monitoring their effectiveness; and communicating how the impacts are addressed.

Transparency Act procedures
Establish how we identify, assess, prevent, mitigate and follow up potential adverse impacts, including supplier due diligence.
Our approach is based on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct. We assess our own operations and business relationships, with additional attention given to activities, locations and connections that may present higher risk.
-
Map operations and relationships
Identify the activities, suppliers, partners, products and geographical areas within our operations and value chain. -
Identify and assess risks
Evaluate potential and actual adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. -
Prioritize and act
Focus on the most significant risks and take proportionate measures to prevent, mitigate or address them. -
Monitor and document
Request supporting information, follow up business relationships and assess whether measures are effective. -
Review and communicate
Update the assessment annually and communicate our findings, actions and progress.
To reduce the risk of adverse impacts, we:
-
Seek more sustainable procurement options where possible
-
Communicate our expectations to suppliers and business partners
-
Request explanations and supporting documentation where an impact or risk is unclear
-
Follow up suppliers when information does not adequately demonstrate respect for human rights and decent working conditions
-
Seek to influence suppliers to reduce risks and remedy identified adverse impacts
-
Consider consequences for the contractual relationship where adequate safeguards cannot be demonstrated
Continuous improvement
We review our procedures regularly and update them to reflect regulatory developments, emerging risks and responsible-business practice.
Employees, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders are encouraged to raise concerns or questions relating to human rights and working conditions.
-
Internal reporting
Employees can use established internal channels to report potential violations. Reports are handled through procedures designed to protect whistleblowers and support appropriate investigation. -
External whistleblower channel
Employees and external stakeholders can report concerns through an independent channel, including anonymously.
