As a customer or partner of Viknes Båt og Service AS, you must be confident that we are aware of our responsibility to safeguard employee and human rights throughout our value chain.
The Openness Act establishes some new concrete obligations for us. These new obligations entail, among other things, a duty to answer questions and a duty to make a general report on underlying due diligence assessments that Viknes Båt og Service AS makes in accordance with guidelines from the OECD.
A due diligence assessment in the sense of the Openness Act is about mapping and assessing actual and potential negative consequences for basic human rights and decent working conditions that the business has either caused or contributed to, or that are directly linked to the business, products or services of the business through supply chains or business partners.
The Openness Act establishes an obligation to carry out a due diligence assessment of our own activity in connection with the fact that we deliver the products to customers. However, this may in some cases mean that you as a customer or as a supplier must be assessed for due diligence.
