Transparency Act
Transparency Act | Orkla ASA
The Norwegian Transparency Act requires companies to carry out human rights due diligence and to publish an annual statement on their efforts. The Transparency Act is built on the internationally recognised standards for responsible business conduct: the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct.
Orkla ASA and its Norwegian-based subsidiaries who meet the criteria as set out in section 3 (Definitions) of the law, are covered by the Act. Orkla’s disclosures in accordance with the Transparency Act are included in the sustainability statement of Orkla’s annual report, which constitutes Orkla’s required reporting under the Act (section 5 of the law).
Orkla subsidiaries which are independently subject to the Transparency Act also publish their own reports. These are available from the links below.
Åpenhetsloven | Orkla ASA
Åpenhetsloven krever at virksomheter skal utføre aktsomhetsvurderinger og offentliggjør en årlig redegjørelse for sitt arbeid. Loven bygger på internasjonale retningslinjer om næringslivets menneskerettighetsansvar: FNs veiledende prinsipper for næringsliv og menneskerettigheter og OECDs retningslinjer for ansvarlig næringsliv.
Orkla ASA og dets norske datterselskaper som oppfyller kriteriene angitt i lovens § 3 (Definisjoner), omfattes av loven.
Orklas redegjørelse i henhold til loven inngår i bærekraftsrapporteringen i Orklas årsrapport (§ 5).
Orkla‑selskap som selv er rapporteringspliktige etter åpenhetsloven publiserer også egne redegjørelser. Disse er tilgjengelige via lenkene nedenfor.
