By embedding our values into every level of our operations, we ensure that trust, transparency, and accountability continue to guide our relationships with customers, partners, employees, investors, and society at large. 

Kongsberg Maritime has entered the public market with a proud heritage and a clear message: our long-term success is built on doing business the right way, and we believe that performance and integrity go hand in hand.  

For over two centuries as part of the KONGSBERG family, we have learned that applying high ethical standards in all our activities is fundamental to creating trust-based relationships with our people, customers, business partners, investors, and the communities we serve. Compliance for Kongsberg Maritime thus serves as our “license to operate,” ensuring that we meet all applicable laws and regulations and uphold internationally recognized standards of responsible business conduct. 

At Kongsberg Maritime, compliance is integrated into our culture and daily operations. Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is fully embedded at every level of the organization – from the boardroom and executive leadership to our vessels and offices around the world.  

We have zero tolerance for corruption in any form, and we adhere to Norwegian anti-corruption laws as well as all relevant international legislation. Likewise, we comply with strict global standards on export controls and economic sanctions, recognizing Norway’s robust regulatory regime and the critical importance of safeguarding international security.  

Compliance at Kongsberg Maritime is not just about rules, but about culture and accountability. We foster an environment where employees and stakeholders are empowered to raise concerns and report any unethical behavior without fear of retaliation. Every report is treated with the utmost confidentiality and taken seriously, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and improvement. 

Finally, our compliance program is supported by a strong governance structure. The Board of Directors and executive management devote considerable attention to compliance risks, and our dedicated compliance organization – led by a Chief Compliance Officer – ensures that policies, training, and oversight mechanisms remain effective and up-to-date.

We regularly benchmark our practices against international best practices and update our procedures in light of evolving laws, regulations, and stakeholder expectations. By doing so, Kongsberg Maritime will continue to be a “reliable citizen” in the maritime industry, known for conducting business with integrity, respecting human rights, and contributing to sustainable development.
