Epic Trondheim AS publishes the following account of due diligence under the Norwegian Transparency Act 2022.
Our Organization
Epic Trondheim AS is a healthcare technology company located in Trondheim, Norway. We provide implementation and support services and sales of healthcare software to the Norwegian healthcare sector on behalf of Epic Systems Corporation, our parent company in the United States.
Our Policy and Due Diligence on Fundamental Human Rights and Decent Working Conditions
Doing good is at the heart of Epic’s philosophy, and we support fundamental human rights and decent working conditions for all. We do not do business knowingly with any organization that violates human rights or perpetuates unsafe working conditions.
We affirm the following Principles of Our Community related to the protection of certain fundamental human rights and decent working conditions:
Our staff are trained on the Principles of Our Community and expected to uphold them in their daily work with each other, customers, and vendors. Our staff are also trained to follow company-wide reporting processes to report behavior that is abusive, discriminatory, illegal, violent, or otherwise violates company policies.
Disclosed Risk
Our business sector is generally considered to have a low risk of human rights violations and unsafe working conditions. We do not manufacture physical products, and we provide our products and services directly to customers in Norway, so our use of subcontractors who could have human rights violations or unsafe working conditions in their supply chains is minimal.
Our supply chain is also low risk. We primarily engage vendors who provide professional services (rather than hourly labor), from or in countries where there is likely very low or no material risk of human rights violations. We conduct due diligence on our vendors’ security practices and place restrictions on the locations from which a vendor may access our information. We standardly place obligations on our vendors to comply with all applicable laws.
We have not identified any actual negative consequences to people or society as a result of the due diligence efforts described above.
Actions and Results
We expect to continue our approach to risk mitigation related to fundamental human rights and decent working conditions by upholding our philosophy and principles, training staff appropriately, and conducting due diligence with our vendors.
This account of Epic’s due diligence on human rights and decent working conditions is published pursuant to section 5 of the Transparency Act 2022.
