Internal control and risk management
The group is committed to manage risks related to its
investments in a sound and professional manner. This
commitment spans monitoring of the current environment,
implementation of measures to mitigate risks and responding
to risks to mitigate consequences.
The group’s exposure to and management of financial risk
are further described in Note 8 of the accounts. This includes
foreign exchange rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
While the main investment is of a long-term nature, any
fluctuations in values will have impact on the net asset value
and solidity of the group and may affect profitability.

corporate governance, in addition to requirements as specified
in the Norwegian Public Companies Act and the Norwegian
Accounting Act.

the company has an appropriate governance structure and that
it is managed in a satisfactory way.

SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters
A responsible business model must be sustainable. The group
includes environmental, social, and corporate governance
(ESG) issues in its investment analysis, business decisions,
ownership practises, and financial reporting.
The group has clearly expressed its ESG expectations to
Hyundai Glovis as an active shareholder. The expectations are
to reduce environmental impact; contribute to promote human
rights, sound working standards; and work towards eliminating
corruption in own operations and investments, as well as the
operations of suppliers and business partners. The group has
also expressed expectations and support for Hyundai Glovis’s
green growth and active role in the decarbonisation of the
maritime and logistics sector.
In March 2022, management raised one human rights related
issue formally with Hyundai Glovis related to unacceptable
vessel recycling practices for time charter (TC) contracts.
Management requested Hyundai Glovis to implement a clear
policy approved by the board of directors that the recycling
of vessels on TC contracts are according to the Hong Kong
convention and aligned with the policy already implemented
for owned vessels. Hyundai Glovis addressed this issue with
a clear policy for vessel recycling for both new long-term TC
contracts, and existing medium to long-term TC contracts.
The implementation of this policy was addressed during the
scheduled investor meeting in November 2022 and will be
addressed at least annually by management.
The group’s 2022 ESG report can be found on treasureasa.com.

The company supports and respects the internationally
recognised UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
the International Labour Standards (ILO Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work) and prohibits

In compliance with the Norwegian Transparency Act, the

diligence assessment for its investment in Hyundai Glovis (as
Treasure ASA group does not have any employees or suppliers).
Furthermore, as part of our ongoing active ownership, the
