Trade mission: Meet Norwegian maritime innovators at Mari-Tech 2026

Companies must adhere to standards for responsible business conduct, including Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria.

Participants are expected to operate in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct. This entails conducting business responsibly, respecting human rights, ensuring decent working conditions, safeguarding environmental considerations, and actively preventing corruption.

Companies must carry out their own due diligence assessments (risk assessments) to identify, prevent, and mitigate potential adverse impacts.
