The Transparency Act

Here you will find information about Novari IKS and the Transparency Act:

The law shall promote business respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and provision of services, and ensure public access to information on how businesses manage negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions.

Novari IKS has both a duty to respect human rights and to comply with the Transparency Act to ensure transparency and accountability in our operations.

Our own operations
Novari IKS respects and supports fundamental human rights, as set out in international conventions and Norwegian law, in all our activities.

Novari IKS identifies the following human rights and labor rights as areas where Novari IKS can have a particular impact:

  • HSE in the workplace
  • Prohibition of racism and discrimination
  • Right to work and non-discrimination against job seekers
  • Freedom of association and freedom of trade unions
  • Prohibition of child labor, forced labor and slavery
  • Fair and good working conditions, including safe and healthy working conditions. Prohibition of any form of discrimination in employment and occupation.

Suppliers
Novari IKS is an intermunicipal company established pursuant to the Intermunicipal Companies Act. The company has the county authorities and the City of Oslo as owners.

The company is an ICT and digitalization company that will ensure efficient and demand-driven procurement, management and operation of digital services for the county council's statutory tasks within education and transport management. The Public Procurement Act and the rules on public funding must be observed. The company shall also provide the necessary professional training and guidance related to the services provided.

Digital services related to statutory county authority tasks can be outsourced to the company in line with the participants' needs and orders within the framework set by the Supervisory Board and which are not of a financial nature. This results in a broad and varied supplier portfolio within consultancy and operations.

The suppliers vary in size from large international and national companies to smaller local suppliers. Novari IKS has contracts or framework agreements with approximately 30 suppliers, with a total contract value of approximately NOK 80 million. Annual consumption is approximately NOK 84 million excluding VAT.

Novari IKS is aware of our responsibility to develop serious agreements and responsible suppliers.

Novari IKS is subject to the Public Procurement Act. Competitions are planned and carried out, and contracts are entered into and followed up in a commercial, socially responsible and resource-efficient manner in accordance with laws and regulations.

We have conducted an overall assessment of the risk of violations of human rights and decent working conditions.

In connection with procurement processes for framework agreements, requirements are set for environmental and social responsibility, and bidders are required to be able to account for ethical trade at all stages. The requirement for due diligence is therefore met in relation to these agreements.

No need for action has been identified against any suppliers, but Novari IKS audits its suppliers regularly and at contract renewals to ensure that they always comply with Norwegian requirements and laws.

In addition, own procurement and signed agreements were reviewed. We have not identified any actual negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions among suppliers.

The due diligence report has been updated and will be anchored in the board in August 2024.

If you have any questions related to our work with due diligence, cf. the Transparency Act, please contact us at

The Consumer Authority is the public supervisory authority for the Openness Act
