Why is sustainability important to your business?
Today, stricter and stricter requirements are being set in legislation on sustainability and the environment in all fields, both in the EU and in Norwegian law with, for example, the Transparency Act that came into force in 2022. Furthermore, the pace of regulatory developments in the EU/EEA is so fast that you need to keep up. It is therefore important to use a law firm that has the knowledge you need to fulfil not only the requirements of the law, but also suppliers and partners' expectations of the company.
