COMPANY INFORMATION<\/h3><h4>1.1 Basic information<\/h4><p>Fana Stein og Gjenvinning is a limited company with the following ownership structure within FSG Holding AS: 50% Ragn Sells AS, 50% Hellik Teigen AS.<br \/>Company organisation number: 980 348 466<\/p><p>Fana Stein og Gjenvinning AS (FSG) has 24 employees spread across 21 full-time equivalents.<\/p><h4>1.2 FSG AS production and product<\/h4><p class=\"p1\">FSG's core business consists of: stone extraction \/ stone crushing plants, recycling and landfill for contaminated soil.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">The stone quarry and crushing plant engages in rock excavation and the production of crushed aggregates underground. In addition to producing crushed stone, we also receive crushed asphalt for recycling, which is sold alongside the natural products casting sand and bark. The products are mainly supplied for public and private purposes in the Bergen region. By operating the stone crushing plant inside the mountain, noise and dust disturbances to neighbours are prevented.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">Deponidelen has the business idea of utilising the rock caverns as a landfill for contaminated material after rock has been blasted out and transported to a crushing plant. FSG AS aims to receive contaminated materials for recycling, proper treatment and disposal, to prevent this type of material from polluting the environment. FSG AS's vision is to have the country's best solution for contaminated material<span class=\"s2\">.<\/span> FSG AS is licensed to receive contaminated soil and loose materials in classes 1 up to and including class 5.<\/p><p class=\"p3\">Fana Stein &amp; Gjenvinning AS was granted a permit and established a washing plant for contaminated soils in 2024.<\/p><h3>2. FSG'S GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES FOR WORK RELATING TO THE TRANSPARENCY ACT<\/h3><h4>2.1 General information regarding FSG's work with fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in supply chains and with business partners<\/h4><p>FSG has long focused on the environmental impact of our suppliers, both upstream and downstream. We visit or have telephone contact with most of the various companies we work with that supply goods and services to us.<\/p><h4>Work has started on the board<\/h4><p>The Board of Directors has resolved that our business shall work with the Transparency Act and comply with the obligations arising from the Transparency Act. As part of this work, FSG AS has appointed a person with operational responsibility for the Transparency Act (the \u00abTransparency Officer\u00bb). The Transparency Officer has operational responsibility for responding to, and where necessary following up on, received requests for information. The Transparency Officer also has operational responsibility for following up suppliers and business partners, and for conducting initial risk assessments.<\/p><p>If the transparency officer uncovers a material risk of negative impact on fundamental human rights, or that such a negative impact has actually occurred, the transparency officer, together with the management of FSG AS, shall assess which measures are to be implemented further.<\/p><h4>2.3 Requests for Information<\/h4><p>As part of ensuring transparency and the proper handling of information requests from \u00abanyone\u00bb, cf. Section 6 of the Transparency Act, FSG AS has chosen to publish information regarding the Transparency Act on our website. We have also provided contact details for those who wish to submit information requests.<\/p><p>We are doing this to make it easy for the general public to know where to direct questions related to the Transparency Act. The enquiries we receive will be used in our ongoing work with the Transparency Act. FSG AS has not received any requests for information since the Act came into force.<\/p><h4>2.4 Supplier mapping<\/h4><p>Since the Transparency Act entered into force, FSG AS has been working on mapping our suppliers with regard to the new obligations established by the Act based on the principle of proportionality, and in order to prioritise work where we believe we can have the greatest impact, the main focus has been on suppliers with an annual service delivery to FSG AS equivalent to more than NOK 500,000.<\/p><p>As part of the mapping process, FSG has asked suppliers to answer various questions relating to company size, place of business, health and safety, labour rights including both pay and workplace security measures, as well as the perceived climate for freedom of expression, among other things. This mapping will be a continuous process.<\/p><p>Up to now, FSG AS's mapping of suppliers has not included sub-contractors. The reason for this is that we believe we obtain an acceptable impression of the risk of breaches of fundamental human rights also among sub-contractors through the knowledge we have of our own suppliers. FSG AS's assessments of the need for mapping and plans for further mapping will provide answers as to whether certain sub-contractors should also be mapped.<\/p><p>We have asked whether the suppliers are themselves subject to the Transparency Act, which in that case means they must carry out due diligence of their own suppliers. This mapping work facilitates further follow-up of subcontractors of FSG's primary suppliers, if we uncover that this should be done.<\/p><p>The transparency officer will, in consultation with management, continuously assess the need to conduct further investigations into subcontractors as well.<\/p><h3>3. MAPPING OF FSG AS'S CUSTOMERS<\/h3><p>The law does not require a specific mapping of FSG's customers. However, FSG is familiar with all its customers, and we are not aware of any general risk of human rights violations among them.<\/p><h3>4. RISK ASSESSMENTS RELATED TO HUMAN RIGHTS AND DECENT WORKING CONDITIONS<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Forms were sent to suppliers who had a turnover of goods and services with FSG of over NOK 500,000. Some of the suppliers had previously responded to the survey; these were asked to respond if they had changes from the previous year.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When FSG receives a response to the questionnaire from a supplier, the transparency officer ensures an evaluation of the supplier's responses. If the responses indicate reason to suspect a negative impact or a material risk of a negative impact, the transparency officer shall include management in the assessment of what further measures FSG should take. Such a measure could, for example, be entering into a dialogue with the supplier to work on reducing the risk.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">No information in the supplier's self-declaration form received in the period from May to June 2026 indicates any risk of violations of human rights or decent working conditions, and there is therefore no need for mitigating measures. No suppliers have reported strikingly high sickness absence.<\/p><h3>5. MEASURES BASED ON THE RISK ASSESSMENT<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">Based on the information received by FSG, FSG has found the risk of breaches of fundamental human rights and decent working conditions within our own operations, business partners and suppliers to be low. Nor have there been any circumstances either in the information received or otherwise that have given us reason to take further measures or carry out investigations.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The board and\/or management has therefore not found a need to implement mitigating measures at this time. The work of mapping the risk of violations of fundamental human rights and decent working conditions is now part of our operational activities.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Transparency Act contact person: Karsten L.
