Norwegian Transparency Act
Our Corporate Social Responsibility
For us at Din BemanningsPartner (hereafter “DB Partner”), it is important to make a positive impact on society. Therefore we work actively on labour market-related issues in both political forums and via cooperation with organisations. We are especially committed to diversity, gender equality and a safe working life.
The Norwegian Transparency Act, known in Norwegian as Åpenhetsloven, requires larger companies to work systematically with human rights and decent working conditions and to respond to information requests.
DB Partner is committed to respecting fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in our own operations, business relationships and supply chain.
As a staffing and recruitment company working mainly with seafood production, food production, aquaculture, manufacturing, logistics and related food-industry operations, we recognise that our most important responsibility is how we recruit, employ, follow up and support workers.
Our work under the Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) is based on practical, risk-based due diligence. This means that we identify relevant risks, assess actual and potential impacts, implement controls, follow up workers and business relationships, document our actions, and take corrective action where needed.
About DB Partner
Din Bemannings Partner AS provides staffing and recruitment services in Norway. Our operations include recruitment, temporary staffing, workforce coordination, employee follow-up, payroll preparation, housing support where relevant, and cooperation with customers on health, safety and working environment matters.
Our employees and agency workers may work at customer sites in operational environments where safe working conditions, fair treatment, correct pay, proper onboarding, suitable accommodation and clear reporting channels are important.
How we work with due diligence
DB Partner has established an internal compliance structure to support its Transparency Act work. This includes:
- a documented due diligence process;
- an annual transparency statement;
- an internal Åpenhetsloven risk log;
- supplier and business relationship assessments;
- client audit and due diligence records;
- a remediation procedure and remediation log;
- an information request procedure and information request log;
- controlled compliance documents and signed policy records.
Our due diligence work covers our own operations, staffing clients, suppliers, housing and transport arrangements, technology providers, recruitment systems and other relevant business relationships.

Main risk areas
DB Partner’s due diligence work focuses especially on areas such as:
- manual labour in seafood and food production environments;
- health, safety and working environment conditions at customer sites;
- working time, timesheets, pay and payroll preparation;
- recruitment and onboarding of EU/EEA workers;
- language, information and understanding of rights and duties;
- worker accommodation and transport where arranged by DB Partner;
- suppliers and business partners;
- technology, privacy and responsible use of AI-assisted tools;
- reporting channels, complaints and remediation.
Identifying a risk area does not mean that a negative impact has occurred. It means that DB Partner considers the area important enough to monitor, document and control.
