The Transparency Act
Sundvolden Hotel actively works for the environment, human rights, and decent working conditions. "Good corporate governance contributes to building an environment of trust, transparency, and accountability that is necessary for promoting long-term investments, financial stability, and business integrity, thus supporting stronger growth and more inclusive societies."
The law shall promote businesses' respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services, and ensure the public's access to information on how businesses manage negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions.
Basic human rights refer to the internationally recognized human rights established by, among other things, the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights from 1966, the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights from 1966, and the ILO's core conventions on fundamental rights and principles at work.
Decent working conditions mean work that upholds basic human rights and health, safety, and the environment at the workplace, and provides a living wage. The supply chain refers to anyone in the chain of suppliers and subcontractors that delivers or produces goods, services, or other inputs that are part of a business's provision of services or production of goods from raw material stage to finished product.
A business partner is defined as anyone who supplies goods or services directly to the business but is not part of the supply chain. Companies shall conduct due diligence assessments in accordance with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Due diligence assessments should be conducted regularly and be proportionate to the size of the business, the nature of its activities, the context in which the business operates, and the severity and likelihood of negative impacts on basic human rights and decent working conditions. Companies shall publish a statement on their due diligence assessments.
