Code of Conduct
In Nel we believe that conducting business in an ethical, transparent, and responsible manner is not just the right way to work, but the only way to work. It is not sufficient to provide the best possible technical solutions — we also need to conduct ourselves in the best possible way.
Compliance with applicable national and international laws and regulations is mandatory, but we have to go beyond that. We must ensure that we do our business with the highest integrity, respecting the cultures, dignity, and rights of individuals and entities in the regions where we operate. We want to avoid the risks associated with inappropriate conduct and instead turn ethical and responsible business into a competitive advantage for Nel. I expect all of us to show the world that Nel will lead the way in this area also.
Therefore, we have developed a Code of Conduct, which describes business ethics principles and practices that are fundamental to Nel. The document reflects our values, the key pillars of the Nel Business System (NBS), and generally accepted principles for how to behave and act. Adhering to the Code of Conduct is mandatory for everyone who works in Nel or acts on behalf of Nel.
Combined with your sound judgement, the Code of Conduct should help you to make the right decisions. If anything is unclear or you have any questions about the Code of Conduct, you should seek guidance from your manager or other internal resources. I strongly encourage all employees and stakeholders to ask questions if you observe any suspicious behavior and/or possible violations of the Code of Conduct.
Any report of concern can be done through one of our reporting channels.

Information security
At Nel, we recognize the critical importance of protecting our information assets.

Transparency Act
The purpose of the Norwegian Transparency Act (“Ă…penhetsloven”) is to promote enterprises’ respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services, and to ensure public access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts.
We are committed to protecting the fundamental human rights and decent working conditions of anyone throughout our own operations and supply chain. We choose our suppliers and business partners carefully and work continuously to identify risks and implement suitable measures to prevent adverse impacts.
All Nel’s suppliers are risk assessed and approved. Our requirements depend on the supplier’s size and risk profile. In accordance with our procedures, Nel carries out due diligence assessments on all suppliers, including assessment of compliance with fundamental human rights and decent working conditions. We report annually on our due diligence practices.
To comply with the obligation to provide information within three weeks after a request is received, Nel has established a system for handling requests. All requests related to the Transparency Act should be forwarded to: transparency@nelhydrogen.com
