Wonderland assesses country-related production risk using the Global Rights Index published by the International Trade Union Confederation.

The Global Rights Index ranks countries from 1 to 5+, where 1 indicates low risk and 5+represents the highest level of risk for human rights violations. All of our suppliers are classified according to this index, and special attention is given to production countries rated between 4 and 5+.

Supplier risk overview

Data from our assesment in 2023 show that 99% of our suppliers’ production countries (measured by share of total purchasing volume) fall within classification levels 1 to 3. We have no suppliers operating in countries rated 5+.

Subcontractor risk overview

For subcontractors (our suppliers’ suppliers), the assessment is based on the number of subcontractors per country. Here, 79% are located in countries classified between 1 and 3, and none operate in countries classified as 5+.

The Norwegian Transparency Act aims to promote corporate transparency, and respect for human rights and desent working concitions throughout the supply chain.

The Transparency Act requires that companies provide information upon request and carry out due diligence assessments, which must be documented in a report made publicly available. The Act does not not require companies to disclose the names of their suppliers or business partners.

How we work with the Transparency Act

• We map all our suppliers.
• All suppliers must sign our ethical guidelines, Wonderland Code of Conduct.
• Our suppliers receive a self-assessment form, Wonderland Code of Conduct Score, where they can rate how they comply with the guidelines.
• When visiting a supplier, Wonderland will observe how our guidelines are being followed and interview employees at different levels of the company.
• We analyze the collected information to identify potential risk elements and assess measures. Risks related to different countries are evaluated based on the Global Rights Index.
• We document results and follow-up plans and make the information available on our website under “About Us.” Consumers may also submit inquiries directly to Wonderland.

Requests for information

We respond to requests for information within three weeks. Requests must be submitted in writing and may concern either general information or information about a specific product.

Wonderland’s ethical guidelines, the Wonderland Code of Conduct, are based on the UN Global Compact and consist of 19 principles divided into three main areas:

• Human and labour rights
• Ethics and anti-corruption
• Environment and sustainability

All our suppliers are required to sign our Code of Conduct, and we expect full compliance unless local laws or regulations in the supplier’s country override Wonderland’s guidelines.

The Wonderland Code of Conduct also applies to Wonderland itself and is signed by our CEO.

Self-declaration

All suppliers complete a self-declaration (Wonderland Code of Conduct Score) to evaluate their compliance with our guidelines on a scale from 1 to 5.

In 2023, the overall average score was 4.76, with the following category results:

• Human and labour rights: 4.80
• Ethics and anti-corruption: 4.74
• Environment and sustainability: 4.69

Lower scores do not automatically affect the supplier relationship but signal areas for improvement, either independently or in collaboration with Wonderland. The assessment is conducted every two years.

Identifying areas of concern

During supplier visits, Wonderland representatives assess compliance with the 19 principles in our Code of Conduct through on-site observations and conversations with employees across departments.

If deviations are identified, we engage in an open and constructive dialogue with the supplier to define corrective actions. When needed, an external auditor may conduct inspections and provide a report with recommended improvements.

For many years, Wonderland has prioritized long-term partnerships with suppliers in Norway and Northern Europe. This provides stronger control, high and consistent quality, and safe products for our customers.

Unique network of local suppliers

In Åndalsnes, we have developed a unique network of local suppliers. Short distances enable close, efficient collaboration and help secure quality throughout the entire value chain.

Northern European production

More than 95% of our suppliers have their production in Northern Europe. Working with long-term, high-quality partners gives us greater transparency, consistently high production standards, and solid expertise in both manufacturing and product development.
