GOVERNANCE
Responsible business practices
We are dedicated to integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct to safeguard our business and earn stakeholder trust. Building a strong, sustainable supply chain is key to minimizing risk, meeting regulations, and achieving our goals.
Ethical business conduct
We’re committed to running our business with integrity, responsibility, and sustainability at its core. This commitment is grounded in our Code of Conduct and a set of supporting policies that guide how we work every day.
Our Code of Conduct sets clear expectations across the Group, aligning our practices with international standards like those of the International Labor Organisation (ILO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It’s a practical guide that helps our people make the right choices - encouraging transparency, fairness, and full compliance with laws, regulations, and collective agreements.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, bribery, and unethical behavior, formalized through our Anti-Corruption Policy. To make sure these standards are understood and upheld everywhere we operate, all documents are translated into local languages and integrated into daily operations across the Group.
Responsible supply chain
With a broad supplier base across the value chain, maintaining a strong and responsible supply chain is key to minimizing ESG risks, achieving emission targets, and ensuring compliance with legal and societal expectations.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets clear expectations for suppliers and business partners, promoting sustainability, integrity, and human rights across the value chain. We expect our suppliers and partners to share our principles and act in accordance with our guidelines.
Documents
The Transparency Act
NFI is subject to the Norwegian Transparency Act, which entered into force 1 July 2022. The act shall promote companies’ respect for human rights and ensuring decent working conditions, and requires large enterprises to carry out and report on due diligence assessments throughout their value chains.
Our risk-based due diligence framework is aligned with the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct, and we report annually on how risks are identified and managed.
Inquiries about our reporting or due diligence measures can be directed to contact@nfigroup.no We will provide you with a response within three weeks.
More information on the Norwegian Transparency Act can be found here.
Reporting compliance concerns
We want a low threshold for reporting concerns if you think something is wrong. If you are unsure whether your conduct or the conduct of someone else might breach our Code of Conduct or Supplier Code of Conduct, you can contact us at contact@nfigroup.no
Whistleblower hotline
We have also established a third-party operated channel for discrete and confidential handling of concerns.

CYBER SECURITY
Resilience of maritime operations
Cybersecurity is a growing concern in maritime operations, where digital systems play a vital role. Threats like hacking of navigation or automation systems could cause serious safety risks, environmental harm, and disruptions that impact both passengers and freight.
At NFI, cybersecurity is a core part of how we manage risks and govern our operations. In response to the upcoming EU NIS2 Directive, we’re strengthening our cybersecurity measures across both IT and Operational Technology systems. We follow internationally recognized standards – ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for IT and IEC 62443 for OT – to build a strong, unified defense.
These efforts help us stay ahead of evolving cyber threats and ensure our maritime operations remain safe and resilient.
