Bærekraft's reporting and work with the Openness Act in AS Vidsjå

It is the company's general manager who is responsible for AS Vidsjå carrying out due diligence assessments and following up on the company's work to ensure sustainable operations. It is the board of the company that is responsible for this being carried out.

AS Vidsjå is the largest owner in AS Parks through its ownership in AS Parks Holding. As AS Vidsjå owns 90.1% of AS Parks Holding, this means that AS Parks is part of the AS Vidsjå group. With this group structure, the AS Vidsjå group is obliged to report in accordance with the Transparency Act, as well as prepare a sustainability report.

 

AS Vidsjå is an investment and holding company with very limited purchasing of goods and services and one permanent employee. The company does not produce goods and services. A separate supplementary account of the work with the Transparency Act is therefore not prepared for AS Vidsjå. For the same reason, a separate Sustainability Report is not prepared either. In addition to the short explanation given for AS Vidsjå below, reference is made to AS Parks' reporting, which is available on the following websites:
