What does Norway’s Transparency Act mean for your business?
If you’re a startupSME, or a supplier to larger companies, this law may affect you — even if you’re not aware of it yet.
Join us for a relaxed morning Q&A session over coffee and fresh pastries with human rights expert Pia Rudolfsson Goyer. She’ll break down what human rights due diligence actually means, why it matters for your business, and how to start thinking about your responsibilities under the Transparency Act — Norway’s new law requiring companies to assess and address risks to human and labour rights in their operations and supply chains.
No legal jargon. No long lectures. Just a 30-minute explainer, followed by time for questions and discussion — so you can get clarity, not confusion.
Why attend?
  • You’re a supplier to a larger company (and they’re asking questions you’re unsure how to answer)
  • You’re scaling fast and want to be ahead of compliance
  • You’re curious about how ESG, human rights, and supply chain expectations are changing
Bring your questions, bring a friend — and bring your appetite (pastries available for purchase)!
