TRANSPARENCY act

July 1st 2022, the Transparency Act entered into force in Norway. The Act shall promote enterprises' respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services and ensure the general public access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. The Act shall contribute to us meeting and complying with the UN's sustainability goal No. 8 Decent work and economic growth. "Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all." About half of the world's population income is so low that they cannot live on their wages. Creating high-quality jobs is a significant challenge for all countries leading up to 2030.

We have drawn up a Supplier Code of Conduct (CoC) which describes the requirements we set for our suppliers with regard to human rights.
We are not established in the countries we trade with, but our Supplier CoC is sent in addition to a supplementary questionnaire where our suppliers must answer questions regarding human rights and working conditions.

PERMAKEM AS has carried out due diligence assessments of all countries we trade with.
