The Transparency Act entered into force on 1 July 2022.
The purpose is to promote companies’ respect for human rights and working conditions in business relationships and in supply chains. As a service company, we are responsible for keeping track of our own supply chain to identify and avoid risks to – and violations of – human rights. This is done through our supplier approval process and regular due diligence assessments.
Upon request, you can send us questions regarding work with human rights and work environment.
If any questions related to these topics, please contact the Business Services Director by E-Mail.
