The Board has overall responsibility for sustainability and actively works to ensure that Cheffelo maintains long-term, trusting relationships and good business ethics. The Board has delegated responsibility to the Management Team to establish policy documents and appropriate structures to ensure compliance. To drive sustainability work forward at the operational level, the Sustainability squad, led by Cheffelo’s Head of ESG, was established in 2022. The Sustainability squad is responsible for recommending our sustainability strategy and related targets, which in turn are approved by the management team. In collaboration with the rest of the organization, the squad works to implement initiatives in line with the strategy, while following up on KPIs.

Business risk assessment and management The responsibility for continuously identifying, assessing and preventing various risks in the business lies with the management team. Risks have been categorized into commercial, financial, operational and regulatory risks and have been assessed in terms of impact and likelihood, and mitigation strategies have been developed. Environmental, social, human rights and corruption risks arise mainly at supplier level and through our purchasing activities. We mitigate these risks partly through our Supplier Code of Conduct and continuous follow-ups with suppliers, and also through careful planning and selection of products and suppliers. Risks in the area of human resources include sick leave and work environment risks, which we reduce through systematic work environment management.
The Transparency Act is a Norwegian law that ensures that companies are transparent about how they manage human rights and working conditions in their supply chains. Our Norwegian operations, under our GodtLevert brand, comply with this law by assessing risks, taking action to prevent harm and sharing this information openly. Transparency Act
