Due Diligence Assessments

The Transparency Act is anchored in the leadership group for implementation and sent to the AMU for orientation in all TESS companies. Systems for reporting critical issues are established and communicated within the organization.

Due diligence assessments are an integral part of our business operations, with clear expectations from top management and well-defined responsibilities within the organization to ensure implementation. These assessments are centrally organized at TESS. TESS AS performs and reports due diligence assessments on behalf of all TESS companies.

The HR function is responsible for assessing internal conditions, while Purchasing & Sourcing evaluates the supply chain. The HSE-K leader at TESS AS is responsible for quality assurance and reporting, providing support and internal communication for due diligence assessments.

We believe this organizational structure ensures the best integration within the company and places responsibility where it belongs. Compliance with the Transparency Act is reviewed at least annually through the HSE and Quality system.
