To ensure that Statkraft’s commitment to respecting human rights is embedded in the way the company does business, human rights due diligence is regularly conducted to identify, 评估, 和 address potential risks. These activities are in line with international 和 national guidelines, 和 are required in recent regulations like the Norwegian Transparency Act.
