The declaration reflects Statoil’s principles in areas such as ethics, corruption, human rights and labour standards. Our suppliers must be aware of the principles that form the basis for Statoil’s activities.

The supplier declaration in the supply chain
Statoil's strategy is to ensure social responsibility in the whole procurement process, from prequalification of tenderers to contract signing and finally the delivery of goods and services.

The use of supplier declarations will increase awareness of and improve transparency relating to group integrity and social responsibility in the supply chain. 

Internal recommendations for the follow-up and management of dispensation from the requirements are also issued.  

Signing the declaration is part of the inquiry process in Statoil and is a pre-condition for being accepted as a supplier to Statoil. Statoil’s qualification systems set further requirements for corporate integrity and social responsibility.
