Every year, verified companies collect information from their suppliers through the Factlines software. The self-assessment is based on the UN Global Compact and the OECD's guidelines for responsible business conduct and aligns with the due diligence assessment process required by the Norwegian Transparency Act.
The assessment covers nine critical areas: CSR strategy and guidelines, supply chain follow-up and control, risk assessment and due diligence procedures, country risk, corporate management systems, labour rights, people and environment, conflict minerals, and anti-bribery and corruption.
