Responsible business conduct and ethical business practices are fundamental to Endúr’s operations and long-term value creation.
We are committed to maintaining high standards related to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, fair competition and integrity throughout our operations and value chain. Our work with ethics and compliance is integrated into our governance framework, operational procedures and risk management processes across the Group.
Endúr continuously works to strengthen internal controls, compliance procedures and responsible business practices throughout the organization and subsidiaries.
Whistleblowing
Endúr has implemented a formal whistleblowing framework across the Group to support transparency, integrity and responsible business conduct throughout our operations. Our whistleblowing channel is designed to ensure transparency and integrity within our operations and is managed by an external entity to maintain impartiality and confidentiality. It is readily accessible to all stakeholders, including employees, clients, and partners, providing them with a secure and anonymous avenue to report any concerns or suspicions of misconduct or breach of regulations. This system is an integral part of our commitment to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct and compliance with laws, ensuring that all reported issues are investigated thoroughly and addressed appropriately. You can find the link to our whistleblowing channel here in Norwegian and here in English.
Norwegian Transparency Act
The Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) came into force on 1 July 2022 and aims to promote businesses’ respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions throughout their operations and supply chains.
At Endúr, our work with the Transparency Act is integrated into our governance framework and day-to-day operations. Due diligence assessments are carried out as a continuous process across our subsidiaries and projects, combining ongoing supplier follow-up with systematic risk assessments of our supply chain. Our approach is based on the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and reflects our commitment to continuous improvement.
Risk Assessment and Management
The Endúr Group consists primarily of operations in Norway and Sweden, and the majority of our direct suppliers are located within the Nordic region. While this generally results in a lower risk in the first tiers of our supply chain, we recognize that elevated risks may exist further down the value chain, particularly in relation to certain raw materials, products and international manufacturing.
Our due diligence assessments are integrated into the day-to-day operations of our subsidiaries and projects. Risk related to human rights and decent working conditions is primarily addressed through supplier selection, procurement processes, contract management and the ongoing follow-up of suppliers and subcontractors throughout project execution. This includes supplier assessments, collection of supplier declarations and supporting documentation, controls related to wage and working conditions, contractual follow-up, integrity checks, audits and sample-based controls.
The information gathered through these activities is combined with supplier questionnaires, public disclosures under the Norwegian Transparency Act, supplier documentation, certifications, publicly available information and other relevant sources to support our due diligence assessments and identify areas where further follow-up may be required.
Transparency and Reporting
We publish an annual due diligence assessment in accordance with the Norwegian Transparency Act, describing our due diligence process, identified risks and the measures implemented to prevent or mitigate adverse impacts on human rights and decent working conditions.
