Due diligence
All Kymar Group companies operate in Norway, which is defined as a country with a generally low risk of negative human rights impacts related to business activities. However, we are aware of and monitor the potential negative impacts from our operations and in our supply chain.
Our process
The Group conducts due diligence in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This is a continuous process that identifies, prevents and accounts for negative impacts on human rights and decent work associated with the production of goods and provision of services in all departments of Kymar Group, associated suppliers and the rest of the supply chain.
Kymar Group conducts due diligence individually for each of the three operating companies. A separate model is used with a risk-based approach that is based on the suppliers' products and services, the country in which they operate and the volume of purchases made by our companies. The purpose of this model is to uncover possible negative consequences related to human rights and decent working conditions.
Measures
The Group has set a strategy for the following measures to stop, prevent and limit negative consequences. To date, no actual negative consequences have been identified.
