Statement in accordance with the Transparency Act
Reporting period 2022
Safedrive AS is a Norwegian-owned company headquartered in Namsos, which since its inception in 2016 has had a strong focus on offering high-quality products, excellent customer service and positive customer experiences to the Norwegian market. Quality extends beyond the products themselves and also includes sustainability. At Safedrive, we are committed to maintaining a sustainable business practice that safeguard people, society and the environment. We have a responsibility to respect human rights and decent working conditions both in our own operations and throughout our supply chain.
This requires a long-term focus, high ambitions and clear objectives. Sustainability work must be integrated into strategies and management systems and should be central to our relationships with our suppliers and partners.
The Transparency Act entered into force on July 1, 2022. The Act shall promote enterprises' respect for fundamental human rights and prevent indecent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services. Companies covered by the Act are obliged to carry out due diligence assessments and report on these. In 2022, Safedrive AS has further developed existing routines and guidelines,emphasizing the assessment of risks in our supply chain. We have based our work on the OECD guidelines and guidance for due diligence assessments, with a particular focus on our 10 largest suppliers. All of these are Norwegian companies, making it relatively straightforward to conduct closer assessments. Safedrive AS has no in-house production, but collaborates with our main external supplier, which is responsible for the development and production of our products. Since we mainly offer one product in the market, our Safedrive Pro traffic alarm, it has been natural for us to have a particular focus on the development and production carried out by our main supplier. Our traffic alert services have great potential to reduce traffic accidents, and as part of our focus on traffic safety, we are also aware of our responsibility regarding the quality of the products we offer to our customers and the value chains that form the basis for offering them. Through close and ongoing dialogue with our main supplier, we believe that we have gained valuable insight into the value chains that are necessary to bring our traffic warning devices and accessories to the Norwegian market. No actual negative impacts on human rights or decent working conditions have been identified in the due diligence assessment. Our main focus in future efforts will be to strive for increased insight into these value chains.
Working with social responsibility is a continuous process. At Safedrive AS we will continue to develop together with our customers, our employees and our business partners to promote respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. Going forward, we will continue to assess risks to gain a deeper understanding of potential risk areas that need to be addressed. This will make us better equipped to take action to stop, prevent or reduce any potential negative impact.
