Aider Konsern AS is a holding company for companies that
provide accounting, advisory services and related IT-services.
The company's address is Karl Johans gate 37, 0162 Oslo.
The company mainly invests in other companies that provide
accounting, advisory and technology services to customers
who outsource all or part of their finance function.
Comments related to the financial
statement
Aider Konsern AS had an annual result of TNOK -38 337
(compared to last year of TNOK -10 038) and a balance of
TNOK 2 249 178 (compared to last year of TNOK 1 191 910).
The equity ratio was 19,7% (compared to last year of 7,1%).
The group had an annual result of TNOK -55 045 (compared
to last year of -642) and a balance of TNOK 2 902 566
(compared to last year 1 604 365). Revenue was TNOK 1 339
606 (compared to last year of 838 458). The equity ratio was
21,3% (17,3% % in 2023).
Underlying operations have been good throughout the year,
but processes related to acquisitions and integrations, as well
as the process in establishing a strategic partnership resulted
in one-off costs that have negatively affected the annual result.
2024 has been a year where we have continued the significant
growth from 2023. Aider counts 1 271 people end of 2024
compared to 812 end of 2023. Aider has clearly strengthened
its brand nationally and locally through acquisitions of well
reputed accounting firms throughout Norway.
Aider is experiencing an explosive growth in M&A activities. In
total, Aider has made 29 acquisitions in 2024. As many as 13
acquisitions have been completed in Q4 2024, compared to 7
in Q4 2023. Acquired companies are consolidated from the
accounting period when Aider controlled the shares. As the
accounting business is somewhat cyclic with higher earnings in
first half and most of the acquisitions are closed in the second
half, the effect is that the underlying margins proforma are
higher than reported margins in the financial statement. There
was substantial costs related to M&A and post-merger
activities and establishing a strategic partnership and
refinancing the bond. Cost related to special items are at NOK
44,8 million up from NOK 19,5 million in 2023, where M&A and
integration were NOK 22,1 million and cost related to
establishing a strategic partnership and bond refinancing were
NOK 22,8 million. Consequently, management is happy to
deliver a proforma EBITDA margin according to guiding, even
with substantial internal improvement project as well as
M&A activities well above plan.
Net financial items have had a significant increase from NOK -
76,8 million in 2023 to NOK -168,9 million in 2024 for the
group, mainly due to the refinancing of the old bond as well as
increase in interests from the new bond obligation.
.
The cash flow from operating activities for the group in 2024 is
NOK -61,8 million (compared to NOK 19,6 million in 2023).
The main reason for the decrease in cash flow is increase in
interests and refinancing of from the new bond, as well as
special items from the transaction of establishing a strategic
partnership. Cash flow from investments are NOK -954,4
million. The cash flow from financing activities are supported
by the obligation refinancing of the old bond and a capital
increase by conversion of debt from the parent company.
Bond reporting
In August, Aider issued a new bond of MNOK 1.600. This
replaces the previous bond of MNOK 875.
The new bond has an interest rate of 4,15% + NIBOR which in
a significant improvement from the previous bond of 6% +
NIBOR. Furthermore, the new bond offers more flexibility with
regards to other financing facilities. The new bond will be the
main source of financing the M&A strategy going forward. In
relation with the bond, the Group must have the higher of
MNOK 50 or 5% of the aggregate outstanding nominal bond
amount in free liquidity at any time in. Aider complies with this
covenant requirement.
Plans and guiding for 2025
Aider's vision is:
“We are redefining the accounting industry
by building a house of competence”
Aider is a vision- and value-driven company. The vision guides
all priorities.
Aider will continue to grow rapidly. The high level of M&A
activity in 2024 is planned to be sustained at the same level in
2025. Also, organic growth is expected to continue at the
same high levels.
The possibility for realizing synergies increases as Aider
grows. The return of investments from automation/AI, smarter
work processes, software etc. will be higher as the customer
base is larger. Consequently, EBITDA-margin is expected to
increase in 2025. Aider will continue to develop
complementary advisory services including further
strengthening the tech offering.
On October 21
st
2024, Aider announced a change of control
event where Castik Capital were to acquire approx. 55% of the
shares in the Group. Closing of the transaction was completed
15
th
of January 2025.
Having Castik Capital as a strategic financing partner will
greatly improve Aider’s ability to fund growth going forward as
Castik Capital can support strategic investments by issuing of
equity. However, the bond financing will be the primary tool for
financing “ordinary” M&A activities in the future.
Aider has started a strategy process with the new board.
However, the vision, values and culture of the company will
remain the same. Topics for discussions are:

Acquisitions completed in 2024:
Aider completed 29 acquisitions in 2024:
*) Transfers of Undertakings (“virksomhetsoverdragelse”)
M&A is a long-term endeavor where the high level of activity
is a result of relationships and trust built over a long period of
time.
Organic growth
Organic growth is a strategic focus area for the Aider
management. Being attractive to new customers and new
talent is essential for long-term success. 2024 has been a
formidable in this respect, with an organic growth of 15,2 %
for the year.
Aider has throughout 2024 strengthened its recruitment
capabilities, both internally as well as externally. This has
greatly paid off, and Aider was able to hire 239 people in
2024, of which 61 was student hires of master and bachelor
candidates. Aider counts 1 271 people end of 2024 compared
to 812 end of 2023.
Aider is experiencing to continue its organic growth through
new customers and projects. We see a shift in the market,
where increasingly larger companies are contacting Aider for
our services. Many of these companies have internal
accounting departments and are therefore an exciting new
segment for further growth. This is also supported by industry
surveys which show that the market is growing rapidly and
that it is particularly the large, professional accounting firms
who absorbs much of the growth.
Central risks and uncertainties
All accounting firms are subject to regulations on risk
management and internal control. The board has a focus on
this work in relation to risk assessment and follow-up on risk-
reducing measures.
The board does not perceive the risk picture to have changed
significantly through 2024 and has particularly focused on the
following risk areas:
• Growth risk
• ICT risk
• Money laundering risk
• Financial Risk
Growth risk
Aider is growing rapidly, both organically and through
acquisitions. With 239 new hires in 2024, there is
continuously joining new people who are not familiar with the
company's quality procedures and guidelines. Aider therefore
focuses on on-boarding new companies and individuals
through:
• Further developing and improving methodology and
documentation for acquisition processes
• Developing, improving and strengthen the national and
regional quality organization
• The head of quality reports to the board and ensures that
quality work is well illuminated in the board's discussions
• A cross-functional project team is set up to ensure all
aspects of on-boarding including the implementation of
quality procedures
• Significant investment has been made in further
developing training programs for new hires, including
national meetings, written procedures, online courses,
and more.
• A personal mentor is appointed to help clarify questions
for all new hires
ICT risk
Aider delivers important technology to our customers. This is
an area where major changes are taking place. This makes
monitoring ICT risk an important part of Aider's risk work. To
handle this, Aider has built up a strong tech team of about
112 people where ICT risk work is also managed to ensure
good expertise and coordination.Aider has chosen not to do
IT operations itself, but through partners. This means that we
share risk, expertise, and control measures with
subcontractors related to operational activities.

Money laundering risk
The board experiences that the Financial Supervisory
Authority's expectations related to anti money laundering
procedures are increasing. The board has taken this into
account through several measures. Among other things,
adjustments to the quality systems have been made to make
it easier to collect documentation and perform assessments
in one place.

The board have appointed a money-laundering responsible
at group level for Aider AS. Additionally, the regional quality
managers have been delegated responsibility for supervising
the money-laundering activities in their regions. The company
has also appointed a separate money laundering compliance
responsible.
Financial risk
At the end of 2024, the group had a long-term loan of MNOK
1 566. In addition, the group has established a revolving
credit facility of MNOK 45 to secure liquidity and increase
flexibility in daily operations. The group entered in a new
agreement with the bank in 2025 to increase its revolving
credit facility to 10% of revenue. In addition, the companies in
the group are organized in a group account arrangement to
ensure liquidity for each company. Cash flow from operations
covers the short-term obligations and is continuously
monitored by the board.
In 2024, Aider chose to refinance its obligation loan and
issued a new loan of MNOK 1 600. The proceeds were used
to redeem the old bond and further strengthen the cash for
M&A-purposes. This provides greater flexibility for
investments.
The Board's assessment is that the company and the group
are well capitalized and have a good liquidity situation, both
as of December 31, 2024 and going into 2025.
Events after the balance sheet date:
The shareholders in Aider Konsern AS’s parent company
Aider Group AS finalized and closed the transaction with
Castik Capital for the sale of shares of approximately 55% on
January 15
th
2025.
Going concern:
The financial statements for 2024 have been prepared on the
going concern assumption and, in accordance with Section
3.3a of the Accounting Act, the Board confirms that the going
concern assumption is appropriate.
Research and development activities
The company has undertaken several development projects
in its service areas of IT, accounting, and payroll production,
including robotic projects and customer applications. CAPEX
in 2024 was NOK 43,2 million, with a total of NOK 80,8
million being capitalized as of December 31, 2024.
Directors' liability insurance
The company has director's liability insurance at group level,
which also covers the board of Aider Konsern AS.
Statement of Social Responsibility
Working environment
The sickness absence rate in the group was approximately
4.7% throughout 2024. This is the same lever as 2023 and is
considered acceptable, However, active efforts to keep
sickness absence down are an ongoing measure at Aider.
There have been no reported or occurring work-related accidents
or injuries, neither to personnel nor materials.
Flexibility regarding workplace has been practiced so that all
employees have had the opportunity to work from home during
periods where it has been most appropriate.
Gender equality
At the end of the year, the group had 1 271 employees, of whom
780 were women (61.4%). The proportion of women in
management positions is 46,8%. Management positions are
defined as positions with specific responsibility for a service area
or department.
There is no discrimination in pay or other ways between genders.
Equal work and responsibilities should be remunerated equally at
Aider.
Measures to prevent discrimination, etc.
Aider is aiming to recognize people as unique individuals that are
different, with different dreams and ambitions, and differences in
what ideal career path should look like. Also, we know that
diversity does not create value by itself, and can even be a
source of complexity. However, diversity done right will generate
new ideas, better business solutions, and a more vibrant
workplace. We care deeply about providing equal opportunities
for all, and leveraging different strengths, competencies and
perspectives to create value, and to put People First
Aider has established reporting procedures to detect unwanted
incidents and prevent discrimination, etc. Recruitment processes
always involve several people to ensure that multiple candidates
are evaluated, and any personal biases are eliminated. Finally,
calibration of salary and promotion to leadership positions is done
at regional/national level to more easily detect any systematic
imbalances in remuneration, opportunities for promotion, etc.
Environmental impact
Moving toward a more sustainable future is a necessity, and
Aider takes this responsibility seriously. In order to help track the
Group’s ESG metrics the board has chosen to prepare an
updated ESG report for 2024 for the Aider group based on the
CSRD framework.
Being a professional services firm, the environmental impact of
the company and group’s core business is rather low. Aider does,
however, recognize the opportunity and responsibility of helping
our customers to create profitability in new and circular business
models, and ensuring a competitive sustainable transition.
Aider has joined Accounting Norway’s Sustainability Council
(Regnskap Norge Bærekraftsforum).
The Transparency Act and responsible
sourcing
Aider is committed to making sure we contribute positively to
local and civil society. While we have always put quality and
safety highly when choosing our suppliers, this year we have
conducted more rigorous due diligence assessments in
accordance with the OECD Guidelines in order to get a better
overview of any risks in our supply chain, and to comply with
the transparency act.
This due diligence covers a wide array of topics including
practices related to Human Rights, Labour, Environment,
anti-corruption and more. We used the software provider
Factlines to conduct this assessment and have been scored
as a low-risk supplier ourselves, as well as having a low-risk
supply chain overall. We have not identified any significant
risks, but there are some identified lesser risks regarding
non-codified ethical standards which we will follow up..

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES
General information
Aider Konsern (the group) consists of Aider Konsern AS (the
company) and its subsidiaries. The head office is located at
Karl Johans gate 37, 0162 Oslo.
Aider Konsern's consolidated statements for 2024 were
authorized for issue by the board of directors on April 30
th
,
2025.
Basis for preparation
Aider Konsern AS's consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and mandatory for
accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021,
and with Norwegian disclosure requirements under the
Norwegian Accounting Act as of December 31, 2024.
The consolidated financial statements are based on the
principles of historical cost accounting, except for the following
accounting items:
• Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
and financial instruments through other comprehensive
income and expenses
• The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared using consistent accounting principles for
similar transactions and events under otherwise similar
circumstances.
Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and
financial instruments through other comprehensive income
and expenses.
Changes in accounting policies and notes
No changes in IFRSs relevant to the 2024 financial
statements have been made in the current year.
Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial
statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2024. An entity is considered to be controlled
by the group when the group is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
entity. Therefore, the group controls an entity in which it has
invested if, and only if, the group:
• has power over the entity
• is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity
• has the ability to use its power over the entity to affect its
returns.
If the group has a majority of the voting rights in an entity, the
entity is presumptively a subsidiary in the group. To support
this presumption and where the group does not hold the
majority of the voting rights, the group considers all relevant
facts and circumstances to evaluate whether the group
controls the entity in which it has invested. This includes,
among other things, ownership percentage, voting
percentage, ownership structure and relative strength, as well
as options controlled by the group and shareholder
agreements or other agreements. See note 9 for a more
detailed description of the group's assessments related to the
control concept.
Assessments are made for each investment.
The group performs a reassessment of whether it controls or
does not control an entity when facts and circumstances
indicate that there are changes in one or more of the control
elements.
The acquisition method is used in accounting for business
combinations, see note 15. Subsidiaries are consolidated
from the date the group obtains control and are
deconsolidated when control ceases.
The result, as well as each component of other
comprehensive income and expenses, is attributed to the
group and to non-controlling interests, even if this results in a
loss for the non-controlling interests. If necessary, the
subsidiaries' financial statements are adjusted to comply with
the group's accounting policies. Intra-group transactions and
balances, as well as gains and losses arising from
transactions between the companies, are eliminated. Non-
controlling ownership interests are presented on a separate
line within the equity section of the consolidated balance
sheet.
Change in ownership percentage without loss
of control
Changes in ownership percentages in subsidiaries that do not
result in loss of control are recognized as equity transactions.
The consideration is recognized at fair value, and the
difference between the consideration and the carrying value
of non-controlling interests is recognized against the
controlling owners' equity.
Loss of control
In the event of a change in ownership percentage that results
in loss of control, the consideration is measured at fair value.
The carrying values of the assets (including goodwill) and
liabilities in the subsidiary and non-controlling interests are
deducted at the time control is lost. The fair value of the
consideration received, less the carrying values of the
liabilities in the subsidiary and non-controlling interests at the
time control is lost, is recognized. Any remaining ownership
interest is measured at fair value, and any gain or loss is
recognized in the income statement at the time control
ceases.
Business combinations
The acquisition method is used for accounting for business
combinations.
Acquired assets and liabilities in connection with business
combinations are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date. The company is consolidated from the point at which the
group gains control and is excluded from consolidation when
control ceases. Costs related to acquisitions are expensed as
they are incurred. Non-controlling interests are calculated
based on the non-controlling interests' share of identifiable
assets and
liabilities or at fair value. The choice of method is made for
each individual business combination.
Goodwill is calculated as the sum of the consideration and the
accounting value of non-controlling interests and the fair value
of previously owned equity interests, less the net value of
identifiable assets and liabilities calculated at the time of
acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for
impairment at least annually.

Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units that are
expected to benefit from the
acquisition synergies, regardless of whether other assets and
liabilities in the acquisition are attributed to these cash-
generating units. If the fair value of the net assets in the
business combination exceeds the consideration (negative
goodwill), the difference is recognized as income immediately
at the acquisition date.
Use of estimates
The management has used estimates and assumptions that
have affected assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and
disclosure of potential obligations. This applies in particular to
depreciation of fixed assets, impairment of goodwill,
valuations related to acquisitions, and pension obligations.
Future events may cause the estimates to change. Estimates
and their underlying assumptions are assessed on an ongoing
basis and are based on best judgment and historical
experience. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized
in the period in which the changes occur. If the changes also
relate to future periods, the effect is distributed over the
current and future periods.
Assessments
In the preparation of the annual financial statements,
management has made certain significant judgments based
on critical estimates related to the application of accounting
principles. The following notes cover the company's
assessments:
• Control over a company, note 12
• Lease agreements, note 5
• Revenue from contracts with customers, note 3
• Financial instruments, note 21.
Currency
The presentation currency of the group is NOK, which is also
the functional currency of the parent company. Companies
with a different functional currency are translated to the
balance sheet date exchange rate for balance sheet items,
including goodwill, and to the transactional exchange rate for
income statement items. Monthly average rates are used as
an approximation of the transactional exchange rate.
Translation differences are recognized in other income and
expenses. Upon loss of control, significant influence or joint
control, accumulated translation differences related to
investments attributable to controlling interests are recognized
in profit or loss. Upon partial disposal of subsidiaries (not loss
of control), the proportional share of accumulated translation
differences is attributed to non-controlling interests.
Revenue
Revenues consist primarily of accounting services, sales of
system services, and other financial advice.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when
control over a good or service is transferred to the customer,
and in the amount that reflects what the Group expects to
receive for the good or service. The Group has concluded that
it is a principal in its revenue streams because it controls the
goods and services before they are transferred to the
customer.
Segments
For management reporting purposes, the Group is organized
into different business areas based on their activities, and the
Group consists of 3 reporting segments. Further information
about the different segments and related financial information
is presented in Note 3.
Tax
The tax expense in the income statement includes both the
current payable tax and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax
is calculated at 22% based on temporary differences between
accounting and tax values, as well as tax loss carryforwards
at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax-
decreasing temporary differences that reverse or may reverse
in the same period are offset and netted. Net deferred tax
assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that they can
be utilized. An asset for deferred tax is recognized when it is
probable that the company will have sufficient taxable profits
in future periods to utilize the tax benefit. The companies
recognize previously unrecognized asset for deferred tax to
the extent it has become probable that the company can
utilize the deferred tax benefit. Similarly, the company will
reduce the asset for deferred tax to the extent it no longer
considers it probable that it can utilize the deferred tax benefit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the
expected future tax rate for the companies in the group where
temporary differences have arisen. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured at nominal value and classified as
long-term liabilities (non-current assets) in the balance sheet.
Payable tax and assets or liabilities for deferred tax are
recognized directly against equity to the extent that the tax
items relate to items recognized directly against equity.
Leases
Leased operating assets are accounted for under IFRS 16
and classified as property, plant and equipment in the
financial statements. The corresponding liability is included as
long-term debt.
Lease payments are split between interest expense and
principal repayment.
Classification of assets and liabilities
The Group distinguishes between current assets and non-
current assets when presenting assets in the balance sheet.
Similarly, short-term and long-term liabilities are distinguished.

Fingerprint: 67fec4fe9b1310399d036face8b7aa169be0e2da3fdab2f711da0cfb8f7c2da8191c18d84345c20fb22db3eb21c245821c869bb1fb93087880fa3a29dd3ec782
The Group classifies an asset as a current asset when it:
• expects to realize the asset or intends to sell or consume
it in the Group's ordinary operating cycle
• primarily holds the asset for trading
• expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the
reporting period
• The asset is in the form of cash or a cash equivalent,
unless the asset is subject to a restriction that prevents it
from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as fixed assets, including
deferred tax assets.
The group classifies liabilities as short-term when the
obligation:
• Is expected to be settled in the entity's ordinary operating
cycle
• Primarily holds the obligation for sale
• Falls due for settlement within twelve months after the
reporting period
Or
• The group does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement of the obligation for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as long-term debt, including
deferred tax liabilities.
Fixed assets
Property, plant, and equipment intended for production,
delivery of goods, or administrative purposes and with a
durable lifespan are classified as tangible fixed assets. These
assets are measured at acquisition cost, less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. When sold or disposed
of, the carrying amount is deducted and any loss (gain) is
recognized in the income statement.
The acquisition cost of tangible fixed assets includes
purchase price, taxes, and expenses directly related to
preparing the asset for use. Expenses incurred after the asset
is put into use, such as ongoing maintenance, are recognized
as operating expenses, while upgrades or improvements are
added to the asset's cost and depreciated along with it. The
depreciation period and method are reviewed annually. The
residual value is estimated at each year-end, and changes in
the estimate are recognized as an estimate change.
Significant assets consisting of substantial components with
different useful lives are decomposed with different
depreciation periods for the various components.
Intangible assets
Individually acquired intangible assets are recognized in the
balance sheet at cost. Intangible assets acquired through
business combinations are recognized in the consolidated
financial statements at fair value. In subsequent reporting
periods, intangible assets are measured at cost, reduced by
any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Internally
generated intangible assets, except capitalized development
costs, are not recognized in the balance sheet but are
expensed as incurred. Intangible assets with a definite useful
life are depreciated over their economic life and are tested for
impairment when there are indications of impairment.
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not
depreciated but are tested for impairment if there are
indications of impairment, at least annually, either individually
or as part of a cash-generating unit. For indefinite-lived
intangible assets, an annual assessment is made as to
whether the assumption of indefinite life can be supported. If
not, the change is treated prospectively as a change to a
definite life. Gain or loss on disposal of intangible assets is
calculated as the difference between net sales proceeds and
carrying amount. Gain is recognized as "other operating
income" and loss as "other operating expenses".
Research and development
Expenses related to research and development are
capitalized to the extent that one can identify a future
economic benefit related to the development of an identifiable
intangible asset and where the acquisition cost can be reliably
measured. Otherwise, such expenses are expensed as
incurred. Capitalized research and development costs are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the economic life.
Write-down of non-financial assets
The group evaluates at each reporting date whether there are
indications that an asset has declined in value. If such
indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount is considered as the higher of fair
value less costs to sell and value in use, and is calculated for
an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash
inflows that are largely independent of cash inflows from other
assets or groups of assets.
An asset has declined in value when its carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount, and in such cases, the asset
is written down to its recoverable amount. The reduction is a
loss on impairment, which is recognized in profit or loss. The
group evaluates at each reporting date whether there are
indications that an impairment loss recognized for an asset
other than goodwill in prior years no longer exists or has
decreased. If such indications exist, the recoverable amount
of this asset is estimated, and the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed up to a maximum amount that
does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognized in prior years.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a
financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or an
equity instrument for another entity.

Financial assets
The group's financial assets are: trade receivables and cash
and cash equivalents.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition
depends on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of
the asset and the business model that the group uses in
managing its financial assets. With the exception of trade
receivables that do not have a significant financing element,
the group recognizes a financial asset at fair value plus
transaction costs, if the financial asset is not measured at fair
value with value changes through other income and expenses.
The group classifies its financial assets as follows:
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets measured at fair value with value changes
through other income and expenses with reclassification of
cumulative gains and losses to profit and loss
Equity instruments measured at fair value with value changes
through other income and expenses without reclassification of
cumulative gains and losses to profit and loss
Derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss (not
designated as hedging instruments)
Financial assets measured to amortized
cost
The company measures financial assets at amortized cost if
the following conditions are met:
• The financial asset is held in a business model where the
objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on specified dates.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets measured at
amortized cost is done using the effective interest rate method
and is subject to impairment losses.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the
asset is derecognized, modified, or impaired. The company's
financial assets measured at amortized cost include trade
receivables and other short-term deposits.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial
asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is
derecognized (removed from the consolidated balance sheet
of the group) when:
• The contractual right to receive cash flows from the
financial asset expires, or
• The group has transferred the contractual right to receive
the cash flows from the financial asset, or has retained the
contractual right to receive the cash flows from a financial
asset but has assumed an obligation to pay them to
another party; and either:
• The group has transferred substantially all risks and
benefits associated with the asset, or
• The group has neither transferred nor retained
substantially all risks and benefits associated with the
asset but has transferred control of the asset.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are, at initial recognition, classified as loans
and obligations. Loans and obligations are recognized at fair
value adjusted for directly attributable transaction costs.
Loans and liabilities
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans will be
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income
statement when the liability is derecognized. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on
purchase, or costs and fees that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is presented
as finance costs in the income statement. Liabilities are
measured at their nominal amount if the effect of discounting
is insignificant.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the liability is settled,
cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is
replaced with a new liability from the same lender where the
terms are substantially modified, or the terms of an existing
liability are materially modified, the original liability is
derecognized and a new liability is recognized. The difference
in the carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
Measurement of fair value
Fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is
determined at the end of the reporting period by reference to
quoted market prices or dealer prices (bid prices for long
positions and ask prices for short positions) without deduction
of transaction costs.
For financial instruments not traded in an active market, fair
value is determined using an appropriate valuation method.
Such valuation methods include the use of recently executed
arm's length market transactions between knowledgeable and
willing parties, if available, reference to the current fair value of
another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted
cash flow calculations, or other valuation models.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and
other short-term, highly liquid investments. The cash flow
statement has been prepared using the indirect method.
Events after the balance sheet date
New information after the balance sheet date regarding the
company's financial position on the balance sheet date has
been taken into account in the financial statements. Events
after the balance sheet date that do not affect the company's
financial position on the balance sheet date, but that will affect
the company's financial position in the future, are disclosed if
they are significant.

Fingerprint: 67fec4fe9b1310399d036face8b7aa169be0e2da3fdab2f711da0cfb8f7c2da8191c18d84345c20fb22db3eb21c245821c869bb1fb93087880fa3a29dd3ec782
Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, income, costs and information on
potential liabilities. This particularly applies to the assessment of intangible assets. Future events may cause the estimates to
change. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are assessed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are
accounted for in the period in which the changes occur. Estimates and assessments are continuously assessed based on
experience and factors that are considered reasonable under given conditions. Important estimates and assumptions that
there is a significant risk of significantly affecting the book values of assets and liabilities during the next financial year are
specified below. Important and critical assessments in the application of the company's accounting principles are also
specified.
Valuations of intangible assets
The most important estimates and assumptions for which there is a significant risk of significantly affecting the book values of
assets and liabilities during the next financial year are related to the valuation of intangible assets. Intangible assets related to
software, development and licenses, and are amortized over an expected life estimated at years. The assets that are subject
to depreciation are assessed annually for possible impairment. Recoverable amounts for cash-generating units are determined
based on valuation of fair value less sales costs or by estimation of value in use. For further discussion of assessments of
intangible assets, see note 7.
NOTE 20 – GROUP LOANS
The balance include a short term debt to the parent company Aider Group AS of TNOK 201 802. A loan of TNOK 333 is also given to
Gripr AS.
NOTE 22 – FINANCIAL RISK, CLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS AND MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUE
The group has limited exposure to financial risks. The most important financial risks the group is exposed to are related to
credit risk and liquidity risk.
i) Credit risk
The group is mainly exposed to credit risk linked to trade receivables and other short-term receivables, as well as fluctuation in
NIBOR-rates related to the interest on the obligation debt.
There is no significant credit risk linked to a single counterparty or several counterparties that can be perceived as a group due
to similarities in credit risk.
ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group will not be able to service its financial obligations as they fall due. The group's strategy
for managing liquidity risk is to always have sufficient liquid funds, so that financial obligations can be met when due, also in
the event of extraordinary events, without risking unacceptable losses or the group's reputation. A group account arrangement
has also been implemented to secure payments across the companies in the group.
Classification of financial instruments
Aider Group
The group's financial assets consist of receivables, obligation debt and bank deposits which are fully assessed at amortized
cost. All the group's financial obligations are assessed at amortized cost.
Principles for calculating fair value
Financial instruments in the parent company and group accounts consist of cash, accounts receivable, long-term and short-
term debt. All are assessed at face value, which represents fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
AIDER KONSERN AS
Dette dokumentet er signert ved hjelp av GetAccept Digital Signature Technology.
Fingerprint: 67fec4fe9b1310399d036face8b7aa169be0e2da3fdab2f711da0cfb8f7c2da8191c18d84345c20fb22db3eb21c245821c869bb1fb93087880fa3a29dd3ec782
Accounting principles
The annual accounts have been prepared in conformity with the
provisions of the Accounting Act and good accounting practice.
Use of estimates
In the preparation of the annual accounts estimates and
assumptions have been made that have affected the profit and
loss account and the valuation of assets and liabilities, and
uncertain assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date in
accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. Areas
which to a large extent contain such subjective evaluations, a
high degree of complexity, or areas where the assumptions and
estimates are material for the annual accounts, are described in
the notes.
Revenues
Income from the sale of goods is recognized on the date of
delivery. Services are posted as income as they are delivered.
Income from the sale of services and long-term manufacturing
projects (construction contracts) are posted to the profit and loss
account in line with the project’s degree of completion, when the
outcome of the transaction can be estimated in a reliable manner.
When the transaction’s outcome cannot be estimated reliably,
only income corresponding to a projects’ incurred costs can be
posted as revenue. At the time when it is identified that the
project will give a negative result, the estimated loss on the
contract is posted in full to the profit and loss account.
Tax
The tax charge in the profit and loss account consists of tax
payable for the period and the change in
deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate at 22 % on
the basis of tax-reducing and tax-increasing temporary
differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and the
tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-
increasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or
may reverse in the same period are set off and entered net. The
net deferred tax receivable is entered on the balance sheet to the
extent that it is likely that it can be utilized.
Classification and valuation of fixed assets
Fixed assets consist of assets intended for long-term ownership
and use. Fixed assets are valued at
acquisition cost less depreciation and write-downs. Long-term
liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount
at the time of the transaction. Plant and equipment is capitalized
and appreciated over the economic lifetime of the asset.
Significant items of plant and equipment that consist of several
material components with different lifetimes are broken down in
order to establish different depreciation periods for the different
components. Direct maintenance of plant and equipment is
expensed on an ongoing basis under operating costs, while
additions or improvements are added to the asset’s cost price
and depreciated in line with the asset. Plant and equipment is
written down to the recoverable amount in the event of a fall in
value that is not expected to be temporary. The recoverable
amount is the higher of the net sales value and the value in use.
Value in use is the present value of future cash flows related to
the asset. The write-down is reversed when the basis for the
write-down is no longer present.
Research and development
Expenses on research and development are capitalized to the
extent one cannot identify a future economic benefit related to the
development of an identifiable intangible asset and where the
acquisition cost can be measured reliably. In the opposite case
such costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized research and
development is depreciated on a straight line basis over its
economic lifetime.
Subsidiaries and associated companies
Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued using the cost
method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at
acquisition cost for the shares unless a write-down has been
necessary.
A write-down to fair value is made when a fall in value is due to
reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary and such write-
down must be considered as necessary in accordance with good
accounting practice. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for
the write-down is no longer present.
Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from
subsidiaries are posted to income in the same year as provided
for in the distributor’s accounts. To the extent that dividends/
group contributions exceed the share of profits earned after the
date of acquisition, the excess amounts represents a repayment
of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the
investment’s value in the balance sheet of the parent company.
Goods
Goods are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net sale
value. Sale value is the estimated sale price in ordinary
operations after deduction of estimated necessary expenses for
completing the sale. Acquisition cost includes expenses incurred
in acquiring goods and costs necessary to bring the goods to the
present position and are attributed using the FIFO principle.
Receivables
Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at
par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The
provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual
assessment of the respective receivables. In addition an
unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses on claims
in respect of customer receivables.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect
method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank
deposits and other short-term, liquid investments

Aider Konsern AS is a holding company for companies that
provide accounting, advisory services and related IT-services.
The company's address is Karl Johans gate 37, 0162 Oslo.
The company mainly invests in other companies that provide
accounting, advisory and technology services to customers
who outsource all or part of their finance function.
Introduction
This report marks the first sustainability report audited
according to the requirements of EU’s Corporate Sustainability
Reporting Directive (CSRD) for Aider Konsern AS (hereafter
referred to as Aider). This report covers Aider for the 2024
financial year and follows the same consolidation scope as our
financial reporting. Any deviations from this scope are
specifically noted.
Through a double materiality assessment, we have identified
three key sustainability topics that are most relevant to our
business: E1 – Climate Change, S1 – Own Employees, and
G1 – Business Conduct. These areas shape our sustainability
strategy and have led to concrete actions within procurement,
business travel, and policies.
Aider’s role in a sustainable future
Aider is a Norwegian accounting and advisory firm that helps
businesses of all sizes—from startups to listed companies—
navigate financial and operational challenges. As of December
31, 2024, we had 1271 employees and a revenue of NOK 1
339 million.
As regulations and expectations around sustainability evolve,
we see it as our responsibility to support businesses in
understanding and adapting to these changes. Many of our
clients already face sustainability-related demands from
investors, banks, and business partners, and we want to
ensure they are well-equipped to respond. At the same time,
the accounting profession itself is changing, with sustainability
reporting becoming an integral part of financial disclosures.
Aider is committed to guiding our clients through this transition
by integrating sustainability considerations into our core
services.
To reinforce this commitment, we have taken our industry
association, Regnskap Norge’s sustainability pledge. This
means we are actively engaging in sustainability discussions
with our clients to help them identify risks and opportunities.
We support them in setting clear and realistic sustainability
goals and assist in implementing the necessary measures to
meet these targets. Beyond advising our clients, we also
recognize the importance of leading by example.
Strengthening our own sustainability efforts is a priority, and
we are continuously building internal expertise, setting
measurable goals, and reporting in line with recognized
frameworks.
Our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a
shared roadmap for tackling global challenges, and Aider is
committed to playing a role in this effort. We focus particularly
on:
• Goal 4 – Quality Education: We invest in developing
future financial professionals by recruiting and training
recent graduates, creating opportunities for learning and
career development.
• Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth: We
promote responsible business practices, both within our
own operations and by supporting our clients in their
transition to more sustainable business models.
• Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production:
We help businesses improve their sustainability reporting,
enabling greater transparency and accountability across
industries.
• Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: We believe
collaboration is key to driving change, which is why we
actively participate in sustainability initiatives such as
Regnskap Norge’s sustainability forum, UN Global
Compact, and dialogue with local businesses.
ESRS 2: CROSS-CUTTING STANDARDS
BP-1 General basis for preparation of the sustainability
statement
Aider's Sustainability Report has been prepared on a
consolidated basis and follows the same scope of
consolidation as our financial reports. No subsidiaries are
exempt from individual or consolidated sustainability reporting
unless specifically noted. Our materiality assessment covers
both the upstream and downstream value chain, where we
map impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs). Our policies,
measures and objectives also include the value chain and the
reporting on relevant key figures reflects this.
Options to omit information related to intellectual property
rights, know-how or innovation have not been exercised, nor
have we exercised the option to omit information about
imminent developments or ongoing negotiations.
BP-2 Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances
Aider uses time horizons in line with the definitions in ESRS
1 and has found no reason to deviate from these. In our E1-6
disclosures, we have included sector-based spend estimates
for Scope 3 emissions, based on Morescope's Environmental
Economic Model, which has been developed by SINTEF. This
model uses financial transaction data to generate detailed
estimates of consumption-based emissions.
Some GHG metrics have a high degree of uncertainty,
especially related to spend-based calculations, as these
depend on general emission factors, indirect estimates from
monetary values, price variations and assumptions that do not
necessarily reflect specific emission sources. To improve
accuracy, we plan to enrich Scope 3 categories with activity
data.
This years sustainability reporting will undergo external
auditing. Necessary references to standards and frameworks
are included and available to the auditor. Aider also reports in
accordance with the Norwegian law, for example The
Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven) and the Equality and Anti-
Discrimination Act.
GOV-1 The role of the administrative, management and
supervisory bodies
Aider Konsern AS’s Board of Directors consists of two men
and one woman, see the annual report for more details. The
board of Aider Holding AS, on the other hand, comprises
three executive and four non-executive members, including
two employee-elected representatives.
For this CSRD report, we have chosen to elaborate on the
board of Aider Holding AS, as it is the governing body
responsible for overseeing sustainability at Aider. While Aider
Konsern AS is referenced throughout the report, there is a
direct governance line from Aider Holding AS to Aider
Konsern AS, ensuring alignment in decision-making and
sustainability oversight. As a result, there are no material
differences between the two in the context of this reporting.
GOV-2 INFORMATION PROVIDED TO, AND
SUSTAINABILITY MATTERS ADDRESSED BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE, MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY
BODIES
The Board of Directors and the executive management team
are informed annually of significant sustainability issues,
including impacts, risks and opportunities.
The Aider Holding AS board (hereafter referred to as the board)
brings extensive experience in accounting, consulting, and
sustainability advisory across various sectors and geographical
regions. The gender distribution is 43% women and 57% men,
with 29% independent members.
Both the board and Executive Management Team possess
extensive expertise in sustainability, with the company's
sustainability advisors providing support for complex
assessments. The management team has a strong background in
governance, ensuring that IROs are well managed. For social
(S1) matters, our in-house HR team has the necessary
knowledge to address IROs. Environmental (E1) aspects are
overseen by Aider’s sustainability experts and supported by
specialized software, ensuring effective management of IROs.
The Board of Directors holds overall responsibility for strategic
decision-making. The Executive Management Team is
responsible for implementing strategies and operational
decisions. As a result of getting Castik Capital as majority
shareholder, Aider will be updating how its administrative bodies
and executive management oversees targets and progress
related to its material impacts, risks and opportunities.
As of now the management of sustainability work is structured in
three main areas:
Until now, sustainability reporting has been an annual exercise,
but Aider is working to structure the follow-up better in
collaboration with its new owner in 2025, Castik .
Currently, the board's involvement is mainly limited to an annual
strategy meeting, but there is a recognized need to integrate
sustainability into the ordinary risk management and decision-
making processes.

GOV-3 Integration of sustainability-related performance
in incentive schemes
At present, sustainability-related goals are not directly linked
to incentive schemes or bonus structures for the board or
executive management.
GOV-4 Statement on due diligence
Aider's due diligence process is built on data-driven analysis
and risk assessments to ensure responsible business
practices. Our climate reporting includes a full carbon
account, while our human rights efforts are guided by the
Norwegian Transparency Act. Our ongoing work with the
Transparency Act has been instrumental in refining our due
diligence approach. We have completed a comprehensive
risk assessment of our supply chain, prioritizing targeted
follow-ups on key suppliers via Factlines. This enables us to
identify risks and implement effective measures to mitigate
them.
Our due diligence process follows six key steps based on the
OECD model:
1. Establish accountability through policies and
governance systems.
2. Identify and assess potential negative impacts.
3. Stop, prevent, or mitigate adverse impacts.
4. Monitor implementation and results.
5. Communicate how impacts are managed.
6. Provide or collaborate on remediation and
compensation where necessary
By adhering to these principles, we strengthen our
commitment to responsible business practices and
sustainable operations. The 2024 due diligence statement
will be published on aider.no before June 30, 2025
Se Table 2 in the appendix for topics identified through our
due diligence and materiality assessment.
We conduct detailed due diligence assessments, particularly
in key supplier categories such as IT equipment, cleaning
services, and catering at our largest offices. Following SASB
industry standards and The Norwegian Government Agency
for Financial Management (DFØ)’s high-risk list, we recognize
IT equipment as a high-risk category due to potential human
rights concerns in production. To promote responsible
procurement, we require suppliers to adhere to international
standards and participate in sustainable industry initiatives.
Supplier surveys help us gather current information on our
suppliers' social and environmental performance. These
surveys cover corporate responsibility, supply chain
oversight, human rights, and anti-corruption. The insights
enable us to identify risks, ensure compliance with OECD
and UN Global Compact guidelines, and collaborate with
suppliers to prevent and mitigate negative impacts.
For social matters (S1), we utilize insights from our internal
employee survey to address workforce concerns. We also
engage with both internal and external stakeholders,
including employees, management, and Regnskap Norge.
This collaboration ensures we focus on the most pressing
issues affecting our business and stakeholders.
Our procurement policy outlines expectations for supply-side
contractual partners, emphasizing both social and
environmental sustainability.
GOV-5 Risk management and internal controls over
sustainability reporting
At Aider, we recognize that environmental, social, and
governance factors can pose potential risks to our business. We
are committed to proactively managing these risks to ensure long-
term sustainability and value creation for our clients and
stakeholders.
To achieve this, we conduct a comprehensive ESG risk
assessment that identifies sustainability-related risks. See chapter
Double materiality assessment - IRO-1 and IRO-2 below for
more information about our materiality assessment. The risk
analysis and its findings were presented to the Board, and its
recommendations now serve as the foundation for our ongoing
sustainability work. Periodic updates on the implementation of
proposed actions and improvements will be reported to the Board
to ensure continuous oversight and alignment with strategic
objectives. Our ESG measures are as follows:

SBM-1 Strategy, business model and value chain
At Aider, our goal is to be a trusted partner for clients facing
sustainability challenges in areas such as recruitment,
financing, and sales.
Our business is built on three core areas—Accounting,
Advisory, and Tech—delivering efficient, data-driven, and
forward-thinking solutions. In addition, we are developing
dedicated sustainability advisory services to help clients
identify risks, set prioritized goals, and achieve measurable
outcomes. Internally, we reinforce our sustainability efforts by
building expertise, setting clear goals, and reporting our
progress in line with recognized standards.
Aider’s value chain is strengthened by strategic partnerships
with leading technology providers, ICT suppliers, software
providers, and facility service companies.

SBM-2 Interests and views of stakeholders
We engaged with stakeholders through various methods,
including meetings, calls, surveys, and emails. Internal
stakeholders included regional managers, the Working
Environment Committee (AMU), and employees via the
employee survey. External stakeholders comprised the
industry association Regnskap Norge and key suppliers.
Our engagement focused on material topics S1, S2, G1, and
S4. Internally, we used structured feedback mechanisms
such as AMU discussions and employee surveys. Externally,
we held dialogues with the industry association and major
suppliers. This engagement aimed to capture stakeholder
perspectives on the company’s impacts, opportunities, and
risks, ensuring a well-founded materiality assessment.
Stakeholder input influenced the materiality assessment,
leading to an adjustment in scoring for S4 based on feedback
from Regnskap Norge. Insights from stakeholders were also
integrated into action and implementation plans. The
company analyzed stakeholder interests during the
materiality assessment, particularly regarding sustainability
topics such as S1, S2, G1, and S4.
No amendments to the strategy and business model were
made based on stakeholder engagement. However, the
materiality assessment process led to the refinement of topic
evaluations, particularly the reassessment of S4 in response
to Regnskap Norge’s input. Future actions include integrating
stakeholder feedback into sustainability strategies and
operational plans, enhancing alignment with stakeholder
expectations and industry standards.
With Castik's acquisition of Aider, stakeholder engagement
will be expanded further in the next reporting period, although
Castik has been consulted as a stakeholder for this reporting
period as well. Future steps are unlikely to modify dialogue
with current stakeholders, but more stakeholders are likely to
be identified as Aider continues to grow.
Administrative, management, and supervisory bodies are
informed through the preparation of the sustainability
statement.
SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their
interaction with strategy and business model
Aider’s materiality assessment highlights key sustainability factors
that influence our operations, financial stability, and strategic
direction. Climate change mitigation is a significant consideration,
as our business activities, including IT usage, office materials,
and business travel, contribute to our environmental footprint.
While these are essential for operations, we continuously explore
ways to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency to align
with regulatory expectations and long-term sustainability goals.
As a major employer, workforce conditions and employee well-
being remain central to our business. Fair salaries, professional
development, and compliance with labor laws ensure employee
engagement and productivity. However, challenges such as
commuting emissions and overtime requirements need ongoing
attention, and we actively work to maintain work-life balance and
operational flexibility, at the same time as we continue giving
possibilities for career development and interesting work.
Maintaining a strong corporate culture requires transparency and
accountability. Aider has established a whistleblower procedure
that allows employees to report concerns safely, reinforcing
ethical business conduct and mitigating reputational risks. Clear
policies on corruption, bribery, and compliance ensure alignment
with both internal standards and regulatory requirements.
Additionally, supplier management is an integral part of our
operations, as we rely on a diverse range of vendors, including IT
providers, software suppliers, and facility service companies.
Responsible procurement practices are essential to mitigating
supply chain risks, particularly as sustainability regulations
evolve.
Aider does not engage in lobbying, but we closely monitor
regulatory developments through industry associations such as
Regnskap Norge . This involvement ensures we remain ahead of
policy changes that may impact both our operations and those of
our clients. Financially, the rising costs of goods and services, IT
infrastructure, and office supplies pose risks, as do energy
consumption, employee overtime, and waste management.
However, these are counterbalanced by opportunities arising
from strong salary structures, sustainability advisory services, and
adherence to OECD due diligence standards, which enhance our
market position and long-term resilience.
By embedding these material topics into our business strategy,
Aider ensures that risks are managed effectively while
sustainability-driven opportunities continue to strengthen our
company’s ability to create value for employees, clients, and
stakeholders.
Double materiality assessment - IRO-1
and IRO-2
Introduction
Aider’s double materiality assessment (hereafter referred to
as our DMA) is a comprehensive process designed to
understand both the company’s impact on society and the
environment, and the financial risks and opportunities arising
from these impacts. Our DMA covers all aspects of our
operations, including direct activities and our upstream and
downstream value chain. This work forms the foundation for
what impacts, risks and opportunities Aider will address in the
future. Our DMA process is fully integrated into our overall
risk management framework. This means we continuously
monitor financial risks and opportunities, such as climate
transition risks and regulatory changes, to keep our business
strategy agile and resilient.

Identification of material impacts
To identify, assess, prioritize, and monitor potential and
actual impacts, risks, and opportunities (IRO) on people and
the environment, we structured our analysis around key
sustainability themes such as E1 (Climate Change) and S1
(Own Workforce). These themes were then further divided
into sub-themes and sub-sub-themes for a more detailed
assessment. Each element was linked to the specific part of
the company responsible for that activity, which we refer to
as the activity center. Next, we examined the underlying
drivers for each activity to understand what factors are
influencing them. Finally, we assessed the resulting impacts,
determining whether they were negative or positive. For
instance, under the theme E1 – Climate Change, in the sub-
theme "Climate Change Adaptation" and the sub-sub-theme
"Scope 2.1 Purchased Electricity," the activity center was
identified as the entire company. Here, the driver is electricity
usage, which leads to carbon emissions which we classify as
a negative impact.
Once we had mapped out these themes, we scored each
activity on its impact materiality and financial materiality. For
impact materiality, we evaluated the probability of the impact,
its scope, scale, and the extent to which it is irremediable,
using a scale from 1 to 5. If an activity achieved a combined
score of 9 or higher, it was considered material. For financial
materiality, we examined the financial implications of each
impact—both negative and positive—often linked to laws,
regulations, customer relations, or employee relations. We
scored the risks and opportunities based on their probability
and magnitude, then we multiplied these scores to obtain an
overall financial score.
This process allowed us to identify our material topics. For
example, in the E1 – Climate Change theme, the sub-theme
"Climate Change Mitigation" was deemed material in terms of its
impact, though not financially material. In the S1 – Own
Workforce theme, "Working Conditions" was considered material
for both impact and financial materiality, while "Other Work-
Related Rights" was material only in terms of impact. In the G1 –
Business Conduct theme, "Corporate Culture" was material for
both impact and financial materiality, whereas "Management of
Suppliers," "Political Engagement and Lobbying," and "Corruption
and Bribery" were found to be material based on impact alone.
Accompanying this, we analyzed our largest negative and
positive impacts, as well as those with the highest financial
materiality. For example, some of our biggest negative impacts
include employee commuting and company-mandated overtime,
while our biggest positive impacts include services that help
provide critical market information and good payment routines. In
terms of financial materiality, activities such as the purchase of
goods and services and employee commuting emerged as
significant, and our dependency on factors like our own workers
was particularly notable. The results of this assessment are
summarized in our tables, included in the appendix, which lists
the material topics along with their impact and financial materiality
classifications, and rank our biggest negative and positive
impacts along with the most financially material impacts and
dependencies.
Stakeholder engagement
Our DMA relies on active stakeholder engagement to ensure our
evaluation of sustainability impacts is comprehensive. To assess
climate impacts (E1), we performed a complete carbon footprint
analysis using Morescope’s software, supported by input from our
internal sustainability team. Furthermore, we gathered feedback
through internal surveys, discussions with HR, and regional
manager input to understand how work-life balance and overtime
affect our employees (S1). In assessing business conduct (G1),
we worked with our quality management and finance teams and
added external insights from Regnskap Norge. This combined
approach helps us capture both the potential and actual impacts
across our business.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
E1: Climate change
E1.SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their
interaction with strategy and business model
In our 2024 DMA, we evaluated the impacts of climate change
and assessed risks and opportunities through our climate
resilience analysis. Our review indicates that our business model,
current assets, and locations are exposed to a low level of
climate-related risks, and we assess our overall resilience to be
high. The table below provides an overview of the identified
climate-related risks, both transitional and physical.
Our climate resilience analysis identified several transitional risks,
including four high-level ones. The first relates to Castik Capital's
ownership involvement, which increases requirements for
financial and sustainability reporting. The remaining three high-
level transitional risks pertain to the potential challenge of
meeting future client requirements if their climate ambitions and
expectations surpass our own performance. While we do not
anticipate this risk materializing in the short term, we recognize
the growing demand for climate action. We have not identified
any physical risks associated with our business model, locations,
or activities, which supports our high level of resilience.
From our DMA, we identified employee commuting and the
purchase of goods and services as the biggest negative impacts
related to climate change. The biggest positive impacts are that
our services help provide information to the markets and maintain
good payment routines. The most financially material impacts are
the purchase of goods and services, company-mandated
overtime, and good salary routines.
E1-1: Significant influences, risks and opportunities related
to climate change
We have conducted a targeted and data-driven analysis of our
impact on climate change. For section E1, we completed a
carbon account using the Morescope system, which served as
the foundation for our impact assessments. We identified and
screened climate-related physical risks in our operations and
value chain, as shown in Table 3 Energy use mix in the appendix.
These assessments were based on previous analyses and were
re-evaluated for 2024, as our core operations remain unchanged.
In assessing climate-related transitional and physical risks, we
considered both short and long-term horizons. As discussed in
the DMA section, we face limited physical risks, while some
transitional risks require further scenario analysis to understand
their full impact. Our screening process focused on short and
long-term horizons, which we believe are more fitting for our
operations and strategy moving forward.
The DMA section includes an extensive review of operations that
might be exposed or sensitive to climate-related hazards. For
more detailed information, see Double materiality assessment -
IRO-1 and IRO-2 above. Climate-related transitional risks and
opportunities were screened and assessed through a self-
evaluation. The table below illustrates the different parameters
and their significance in both the short and long term.

Transition events were identified over short and long-term
horizons. In the climate risk and opportunities table, possible
transition events were screened, with short-term risks assessed
as low to medium and some long-term events identified as
potentially higher risk. Combining the DMA analysis with the
identification of climate-related risks and opportunities, we
concluded that our assets and business activities have a medium
exposure and sensitivity risk connected to transition events. For a
full overview of screened activities, see table 2 in the appendix.
The corporation has not conducted any scenario analysis based
on the identified transition events, and the assessment of
exposure has not been completed.
E1-2: Guidelines for climate change mitigation and
adaptation
Aider has integrated climate change into our ESG policy, where
we have committed to annual carbon accounting in line with the
GHG Protocol and relevant standards. Our climate targets will
follow the principles of the Science Based Targets initiative
(SBTi), and we are working to reduce our carbon footprint in line
with the Paris Agreement.
E1-3: Measures and resources for implementing climate
policy
To develop an effective decarbonization strategy, we have
established a strong foundation by integrating climate change
mitigation into our governance parameters. In 2024, we focused
on implementing our ESG policy, detailed in E1-2, and
concentrated on mitigating climate change through business
travel, procurement, and waste management. For a complete list
of measures, see the table of completed measures in the
appendix and the planned measures in our governance chapter.
we will dedicate a resource on 30 % position to internal
sustainability issues. This individual will collaborate closely with
our sustainability team and seek their support when necessary.
3.3 Fuel and energy related
Our current climate action management resources come from the
sustainability team within our advisory services. We assessed the
emissions
efforts required to manage these actions in 2024 as moderate. To
3.4 Upstream and downstream
accelerate progress and align with our growth strategy for 2025,
E1-4: Objectives related to climate change mitigation and
adaptation
At this stage, we have not identified any material targets for
disclosure, as our primary focus has been on establishing a solid
foundation through policies and obtaining high-quality
environmental data. As our policies and data quality improve, we
will shift our focus toward setting targets to manage material
climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities. Continued data
collection will provide a strong foundation to measure and track
progress against targets and initiatives over time, ensuring
informed decisions and meaningful change.
As we aim to set GHG emissions targets in the coming years, we
recognize that, given our significant growth and future expansion
plans, it is more meaningful to track GHG emissions intensity
rather than focusing solely on total emissions. Emissions
intensity, defined as total emissions divided by either the number
of employees or our revenue, provides a clearer picture of our
emissions relative to our growth. This approach will help us better
align our environmental performance with our evolving business
operations.
E1-5: Energy use and energy mix
Our energy use is mainly based on renewable sources, with 95%
of energy consumption coming from renewable electricity. Fossil
energy accounts for a minimal share (3%), while nuclear energy
accounts for 2%. We will continue to improve our energy use by
evaluating efficiency opportunities and working with our landlords
for more climate-friendly office solutions.
For full table of energy use and mix, see table 3 in the appendix.
E1-6: Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3)
Aider has no direct emissions (Scope 1), while our Scope 2
emissions from purchased electricity have increased by 69% from
2023 to 2024, mainly due to business growth and new office
space. Scope 3 emissions have increased by 35%, primarily
driven by the purchase of goods and services (+23%) and
employee commuting (+74%).
Our inventory includes the categories in the table below. We have
excluded several Scope 3 GHG emissions categories from our
inventory due to their negligible size. Additionally, the category
of franchises is not relevant to our organization as we do not
have any franchises.
Emissions are calculated according to Morescope’s
Environmental Economic Model (MEEM). MEEM is a leading
Environmentally Extended Multi-Regional Input-Output model that
converts financial transactions into detailed spend-based
emission estimates, accounting for sector-specific emission
intensities, global trade relations, and production technologies.
This ensures a data-driven and reliable approach to emissions
analysis.
We have calculated our GHG emissions intensity on both a
location-based and market-based approach, resulting in an
intensity of 2,408 tons per MNOK of net revenue.
The GHG intensity based on net revenue is calculated by dividing
total gross Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions by our
reported net revenue, which is 1 339,606 MNOK. This figure
aligns with the net revenue reported in our financial statement on
page 8.

The EU TAXONOMY
EU Taxonomy Background and scope
The EU taxonomy is a classification system designed to define
which economic activities can be considered environmentally
sustainable.
Dette dokumentet er signert ved hjelp av GetAccept Digital Signature Technology.
Fingerprint: 67fec4fe9b1310399d036face8b7aa169be0e2da3fdab2f711da0cfb8f7c2da8191c18d84345c20fb22db3eb21c245821c869bb1fb93087880fa3a29dd3ec782
The EU taxonomy framework (EU taxonomy Regulation
2020/852) primary goal is to redirect investments towards
sustainable projects. Contributing to the achievement of the
European Union's 2030 climate and environmental goals and
advancing the objectives outlined in the European Green Deal.
Our assessment below is in compliance with the regulation EU
2020/852 and the associated amendments to the annexes of
the Disclosure Delegated Act, introduced on the 27th of June
2023.
The Taxonomy Regulation establishes four key conditions for an
economic activity to be considered environmentally sustainable.
First, it must make a substantial contribution to at least one
environmental objective. Second, it must not cause significant
harm to any of the other five environmental objectives. Third, it
must comply with minimum safeguards, ensuring adherence to
social and governance standards. Finally, it must meet the
technical screening criteria set out in the Taxonomy Delegated
Acts.
Technical screening procedures
Aider has implemented the assessment of technical screening
criteria for the environmental objectives; 1. Climate Change
Mitigation, 2. Climate Change Adaptation, 3. Water and Marine
Resources, 4. Circular Economy, 5. Pollution Prevention and
Control, and 6. Biodiversity and Ecosystems according to the
EU Taxonomy.
An economic activity contributes substantially to the
environmental objective climate change mitigation where that
activity complies with the technical criteria for substantial
contribution to the stabilization of greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere at a level consistent with the
Paris Agreement.
In carrying out the process we have used specially adapted
software from one of our partners.
Eligible and aligned economic activities
Aider has established that economic activities qualify as eligible
if they can be assessed against the technical screening criteria
set out in the Climate Delegated Act and the Environmental
Delegated Act, and if they have the potential to be or become
taxonomy aligned. We have identified the following economic
activity as eligible for EU taxonomy reporting for the fiscal year
2024:
CCM 8.2 Data-driven solutions for GHG emissions
reductions
This activity refers to two of Aiders operations. The first
operation is within the sustainability team under the advisory
department. As a system provider, we enable customers to gain
a comprehensive understanding of their climate footprint
through Morescope.
The second operation under this category is with our subsidiary
company Grasp Labs As. Grasp Labs is a company who collect,
analyzes and organizes data from open web resources, and
make the data available for Aiders customers.
Evaluated activities which were not evaluated as eligible
Several activities were initially evaluated as eligible. However,
after a thorough review of Aider's operations and services, they
were ultimately classified as not eligible
Aider operates within activity 8.2 Computer programming,
consultancy, and related services. Our extensive tech
department specializes in system solutions, support,
consulting, and ERP system development. This activity falls
under the classification of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA).
To qualify under CCA, climate risk and vulnerability
assessment must be conducted, along with the establishment
of an expenditure plan. As these requirements have not been
met for the fiscal year 2024, this activity does not qualify under
the EU Taxonomy.
While Aider offers courses and certifications in Economics, this
does not fall under Activity 11 (Education), as that category is
specifically intended for schools. Similarly, Activity 8.1 (Data
processing, hosting, and related activities) was considered but
deemed inapplicable, as these services are provided through
third parties. Activity 4.1 (Provision of IT/OT data-driven
solutions) was also considered. However, Activity CCA 8.2
was deemed a more accurate classification, as Activity 4.1 did
not fully align with the company's core business related to IT
and software.
Determining whether eligible activities are aligned with
the taxonomy criteria
We have evaluated the activities based on the four conditions
outlined in the delegated acts. And for the fiscal year 2024,
Aider does not have any activities classified as taxonomy
aligned.
KPIs
The turnover KPI is calculated as Taxonomy-eligible turnover
divided by total turnover (Note 3 in the consolidated financial
statement). Similarly, the CapEx KPI is determined by dividing
Taxonomy-eligible CapEx by total CapEx (Notes 5, 6, 7, 13 &
15 in the consolidated financial statement). The OpEx KPI is
measured as Taxonomy-eligible OpEx divided by total OpEx,
in accordance with the EU Taxonomy legislation. Further
details on these KPIs are provided below.
Revenue is defined as Aider's total income from customer
contracts, along with other sources of income, based on our
consolidated revenue for the fiscal year 2024. CapEx includes
additions to tangible and intangible assets during the financial
year, accounting for acquisitions while excluding depreciation
and amortization. The OpEx KPI aligns with the EU Taxonomy
under Article 8 Delegated Act, Annex I, section 1.1.3.2,
covering expenditures related to day-to-day servicing towards
research and development, building renovations, short-term
leasing, and repair and maintenance.
During the calculations of the financial KPIs, we have taken
measures to avoid double counting. The eligible activities
share similar accounts, and dummy variables were used in
order to split the numbers into the correct activity.
To ensure the accuracy of our financial KPI calculations and
prevent double counting, we implemented specific measures.
Given that the eligible activities share similar accounts, we
utilized dummy variables to systematically allocate figures to
the correct activity. This approach allowed us to maintain data
integrity, ensuring that financial metrics accurately reflect the
performance of each activity without overlap or
misrepresentation.
Minimum Safeguards
The minimum safeguards are built on four essential pillars: We endorse the principles of the UN Guiding Principles on
human rights, taxation, corruption, and fair competition. These Business and Human Rights (UNGPs. We implement our
pillars underscore the EU’s dedication to promoting responsible commitment to these via our Code of Conduct, and other
and sustainable economic practices. internal policies and procedures.
Aider, and its subsidiaries, is committed to conducting business
in a responsible and upright manner and to respect human
rights through our activities, in line with the Aider’s Values.

S1: Own Workforce
S1-1: Policies related to own workforce
Aider operates in accordance with the Norwegian Working
Environment Act, the Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act, and
the Holiday Act, which form the foundation of our workforce
guidelines. These laws, along with our Employee Handbook and
Health, Safety and Environment Handbook (HSE Handbook),
guide our approach to occupational health and safety, diversity,
and inclusion.
We have established ethical guidelines emphasizing equality and
non-discrimination, supported by whistleblowing routines to
ensure a fair and safe working environment. Our core value,
"People First" is about our belief that, ultimately, our industry is
more about people than numbers. It also emphasizes that
people's unique perspectives are important to us as an
organization. At the same time, we know that diversity does not
create value by itself and can even be a source of complexity.
However, diversity done right will generate new ideas, better
business solutions, and a more vibrant workplace. We care
deeply about providing equal opportunities for all, and leveraging
different strengths, competencies and perspectives to create
value, and to put People First.
We have a Working Environment Committee (WEC) and
employee representatives as board members. Our Employee
Handbook outlines our culture and guiding principles, reflecting
our value-driven approach. Coordinated promotion processes
and salary adjustment processes with national-level calibration
are well established.
In line with our "People First" value, we mark Pride and religious
celebrations. Our largest offices are wheelchair accessible and
have rooms to pray or relax. Some offices collaborate with Nav to
offer work and language training. Our onboarding process
includes reading this and other policies. We have established
whistleblowing routines and a whistleblowing channel open to all
employees.
We seek to ensure that we build an organization of people than
can challenge status quo and deliver premium customer
experience through the recruitment process. Our statutory
statement on equality and anti-discrimination provides more
details on how we work with equality, diversity, and inclusion.
S1-2: Processes for engaging with own workforce and
workers’ representatives about impacts
Our employee engagement survey and formal employee-
manager conversations, conducted semi-annually, provide
platforms for all employees to offer input and feedback on
workplace conditions.
The employee-manager conversations are crucial for
development, motivation, and sharing thoughts and feedback.
They cover well-being, work tasks, goal setting, development,
and other relevant topics. We also encourage more frequent one-
on-one conversations between managers and employees.
The employee engagement survey, which is anonymous and
presented at an aggregated level, includes questions on
employee engagement, inclusion and diversity, the psychosocial
and physical work environment, and adherence to our values. It
also features open-ended questions for general feedback.
After each employee engagement survey, we evaluate the results
and establish action points based on employee feedback. We
also review and adjust the survey questions as needed.
Engagement with our workforce is otherwise followed up on an
ongoing basis. The HR Director is responsible for ensuring that
engagement happens and that results inform our approach.
Every office has a safety representative, and we
also have a main safety representative and an
employee representative. These representatives
serve on the Working Environment Committee
(WEC) alongside two management
representatives. The WEC addresses matters
related to the working environment, including HSE
issues, safety inspections, and preventive
measures. The committee meets four times a year,
with additional meetings as needed. Employees
can bring matters to the WEC through their safety
representative.
We do not collect data on origin, religion, disability,
or similar characteristics, ensuring that all
employees can provide feedback on the same
topics. Our statutory statement on equality and
anti-discrimination details our work on equality,
diversity, and inclusion, including goals for gender
balance at various position levels, especially in top
management.
S1-3: Processes to remediate negative impacts
and channels for own workforce to raise
concerns
We have not caused, contributed or been involved
to any material negative impact on our workforce.
Our whistleblowing routine, which is statutory for
Norwegian companies, allows employees to raise
concerns through a channel available in the
employee handbook and via a link in our HR
system. The details of this routine are described in
the employee handbook.
In addition to the whistleblowing channel, we have
regional HR personnel, safety representatives, and
a Working Environment Committee (WEC).
Employees can always speak to their regional HR
person if they have questions regarding workplace
conditions.
The HR Director is the sole receiver of concerns
raised through dedicated digital forms. Reports can
also be submitted in writing to an employer
representative, safety representative, union
representative, or lawyer. The recipient ensures the
report is followed up and handled by the HR
Director, who investigates within a reasonable time
and informs the whistleblower of the outcome
within 14 days. If the investigation takes longer
than 14 days, the whistleblower is notified. Once
the case is fully processed, the concerned
individual(s) are informed of the outcome. If the
whistleblower is anonymous, they will not be
informed. The Personal Data Act is observed in
processing all personal data, and confidentiality
rules are strictly followed. The employer ensures
the traceability of the whistleblowing process,
including preparing minutes from interviews. All
documentation is deleted in accordance with the
Personal Data Act once it is no longer necessary.
The Norwegian Working Environment Act, chapter 2A, addresses
whistleblowing provisions, and §4-1 requires the working
environment to be “fully satisfactory” and safeguard employees’
physical and psychosocial health. Whistleblowers are protected
against retaliation under §2A-2, which includes unfavorable
treatment resulting from whistleblowing. Aider ensures the
whistleblower’s working environment remains safe and
appropriate, with follow-up meetings unless the whistleblower
opts out or is anonymous.
S1-4: Taking action on material impacts on own workforce,
and effectiveness of those actions
Our semi-annual employee engagement survey and formal
employee-manager conversations are key platforms for
identifying areas for improvement, preventing negative impacts,
and promoting positive outcomes for our workforce.
Our employee and HSE handbooks outline routines, guidelines,
and best practices. Our HR strategy and ongoing efforts aim to
prevent and mitigate negative impacts while fostering positive
conditions for our employees. We have no reports of serious
negative impacts on employees.
We strive to create excellent working conditions, with office
spaces designed for ergonomic comfort, including quality chairs
and computer screens. Flexible working hours with core time
allow employees to balance work and personal needs. We also
hold digital company-wide meetings throughout the year to foster
a sense of community and share important updates.
We celebrate initiatives like World Mental Health Day, Football
Jersey Friday (organized by The Norwegian Childhood Cancer
Society), and Pride, both in our offices and on social media.
Additionally, we organize local social events and encourage
sports activities, with some offices participating in events like the
Holmenkollstafetten race.
The employee engagement survey addresses topics such as
engagement, personal development, workload, inclusion,
diversity, the work environment, and adherence to our values. It
includes open-ended questions for general feedback, is
anonymous, and results are presented in aggregate. Post-survey,
we evaluate results, establish action points, and adjust future
surveys as needed.
Our HSE Handbook includes emergency preparedness routines.
Each office has a security representative and a regional HR
representative available for various concerns. We have
established ethical guidelines, which will be implemented in 2025.
We continuously focus on employee development, enhancing
learning and development initiatives. The Working Environment
Committee (WEC) meets regularly, and our HR department
maintains a focus on employee well-being. Key resources
managing material impacts include the HR Director, top
management, the board, and the WEC.
Our transition towards a greener, climate-neutral economy has
not negatively impacted our employees.
S1-5: Targets related to managing material negative
impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing
material risks and opportunities
The Working Environment Committee (WEC) plays a key role in
setting and reviewing targets related to material impacts, as
outlined in our HSE handbook. We regularly assess these goals
and their attainment during WEC meetings.
Employee involvement is integral to this process, facilitated
through our employee engagement survey and subsequent
follow-up actions. After each survey, we evaluate the results,
establish action points based on employee feedback, and
review the survey questions to make necessary adjustments for
future surveys.
S1-6: Characteristics of the undertaking’s employees
We have a total head count of 1271 employees, including 213
employees from acquired companies that have not yet been
merged into Aider AS. Beside from the total head count, data in
this report is based on a head count of 1058 employees,
including 396 men and 662 women. Over the reporting period
we have had an employee turnover rate of 15%. When
excluding temporary employees, trainees and cleaning
personnel, the turnover rate is 14% for the reporting period.
Throughout the year, Aider has acquired several companies.
Our analysis includes employee data from Aider AS, Aider
Sørøst AS, and Causa Nord AS in all data fields in S1.
Contractors are excluded from this data. Employee numbers are
reported as head count at the end of the reporting period.
Employee data is extracted from our HR system, which
continuously tracks all registered employees and any changes.
The number of non-guaranteed hours employees, part-time
employees, and temporary employees includes several cleaning
personnel and trainees who work as needed or for a limited
number of hours per week.

S1-9: Diversity metrics
The gender distribution at top management level is 83 men and
39 women. The top management level includes the position
levels Partner and Director. The age distribution shows that 26%
of employees are under 30 years old, 48% between 30-50 years
old and 25% over 50 years old.
S1-13: Training and skills development metrics
The average number of training hours per employee is 60.73
hours for men and 53.62 hours for women.
The most important training in our company takes place through
day-to-day work with customers, tasks and colleagues. We work
actively using the work situation as an arena for learning. There
are also formalized programs for courses and training and the
employees are encouraged to ensure ongoing professional
development through the internal course offering. We have
therefore based this measurement on hours registered on the
time code for courses and academic update.
S1-14: Health and safety metrics
All employees are covered by our health and safety system,
which is based on legal requirements for statutory occupational
injury insurance and recognized guidelines. In 2024 we have no
fatalities or work-related accidents
S1-15: Work-life balance metrics
100 % of our employees are entitled to family-related leave
through The Norwegian National Insurance Act (Folketrygdloven)
when becoming a parent. This was relevant for and exercised by
6.72% of the total workforce, of which 43 % were men and 57 %
were women. In total this was 60 people.
S1-16: Remuneration metrics
The ratio of the contractual annual salary of the CEO to the
median contractual annual salary for all employees was 3,6. We
have a higher share of men in the top management level, and a
higher share of women in the associate and middle management
levels. The salary ratio with a split on employee categories, are
shown in the following table.

S1-10: Adequate wages
Salaries are set locally based on market conditions, and we do
not follow national benchmarks, but adapt to competitive wage
levels in relevant markets.
S1-11: Social protection.
All employees are covered by The Norwegian National Insurance
Act (Folketrygdloven) for various benefits.
Under Chapter 8, employees under 67 years are entitled to full
sickness benefits for up to 52 weeks, those aged 67–70 years
are entitled to sickness benefits for up to 60 days provided they
have earned pensionable income, and employees over 70 years
are not entitled to sickness benefits from the National Insurance
Scheme.
Chapter 4 covers unemployment benefits, with conditions for
entitlement detailed in the legal text.
All employees are also covered by occupational injury insurance
through the employer's insurance policy. Additionally, they are
covered by Chapter 12 for disability benefits, Chapter 8 for sick
pay, and Chapter 11 for work assessment allowance, when
conditions are met.
Chapter 14 ensures all employees are covered for parental pay.
Chapters 19 and 20 cover retirement pensions, and employers
are required to establish pension schemes according to The Act
on Mandatory Occupational Pension (OTP Act), The Act on
Corporate Pensions (Foretakspensjonsloven), and The Act on
Defined Contribution Pensions in Employment
(Innskuddspensjonsloven).
We comply with all the legal requirements mentioned above.

At Aider we are clear that equal work should be remunerated
equally in the local markets. We do not accept any
discrimination or unjust remuneration. Differences typically
arise with different work and educational backgrounds,
competencies, department affiliation (accounting, payroll,
advisory or tech), areas of responsibility, gender distribution
across position levels or employee categories, and
geographical differences. These factors can explain the
majority of the gender pay gap.
This analysis was done on the basis of our salary system,
where all current employees are registered, and was
calculated based on all employees working more than 50%.
S1-17: Incidents, complaints and severe human rights
impacts
During the reporting period, we received one complaint
through our whistleblowing channels. This was handled
according to our routines. No serious human rights violations
or incidents related to the workforce have been reported, nor
have we received any fines or penalties. Our HR director is
responsible for following up any reported incidents or
complaints. We have also conferred with our CEO on this
topic. The routine for filing complaints is described in S1-3
above.

G1: Business Conduct
The Board of Directors holds overall responsibility for Aider's
business conduct, overseeing ethical practices, compliance, and
risk management. Governance of business conduct is integrated
into strategic decision-making to ensure adherence to anti-
corruption measures, supplier due diligence, and ethical
guidelines. See governance chapter as part of ESRS 2 for more
information about Aider’s management.
G1-1 Business conduct policies and corporate culture
Aider builds its business on a strong value base, prioritizing
people and maintaining high ethical standards. Our corporate
culture is rooted in our employee handbook, which includes our
core values, Code of Conduct, and internal responsible business
practice procedures. Compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering
Act and regulations related to corruption is integrated into our
onboarding and continuous training.
To ensure transparency and compliance, we have a
whistleblowing system that allows employees to report concerns
anonymously if needed. The HR department handles
whistleblowers, protects them from retaliation, and ensures all
cases are managed confidentially and objectively. The
whistleblower procedure is described in S1-3.
Aider complies with national Norwegian laws, including the
Whistleblowing Act, Working Environment Act, and Money
Laundering Act, as well as EU regulations such as Directive
2019/1937 on Whistleblowing. We also adhere to the Norwegian
regulation for accounting, the GRFS, and the Norwegian
accounting act. These regulations require us to maintain
transparent and protected channels for employees to report
concerns, safeguard whistleblowers from retaliation, and ensure
compliance with ethical and legal standards, particularly in
accounting and consulting work.
We have zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, extortion, fraud,
and money laundering, as clearly formulated in our Code of
Conduct. Additionally, we follow the ethical guidelines established
by our industry organization, Regnskap Norge, specifically for
accountants. We believe these measures are sufficient to prevent
both internal and external corruption and bribery.
Beyond what is stated in the employee handbook, more
comprehensive training is provided within each consulting
department, tailored to their specific fields. These training
sessions are mandatory for all new employees and vary in
frequency depending on the department. The functions most at
risk are our accounting personnel who work directly with our
customers' financials and accounting.
G1-2 Management of relationships with suppliers
Aider places great importance on maintaining strong relationships
with our partners and suppliers. We ensure timely payments
through well-established and efficient payment procedures, which
are regularly monitored for compliance. Our approach to
suppliers aligns with the Norwegian Transparency Act. See
subchapter GOV-4 for more information about due diligence in
relation to our suppliers.
Our procurement policy governs supply-side contractual partners
and sets expectations for both social and environmental
sustainability. We have a clear authorization matrix regulating
who can perform purchases and have developed a Supplier
Code of Conduct to guide our interactions.
G1-3 Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery
As a leading player in accounting and consulting services, we
comply with extensive anti-money laundering regulations. All
employees, regardless of position, participate annually in anti-
money laundering training, including measures to uncover
suspicious transactions related to corruption and financial crime.
In 2025, we implemented a new ethics policy that reinforces our
zero tolerance for corruption, bribery , extortion, fraud, money
laundering, and other unethical practices. All incidents related to
corruption and bribery are handled through reporting routines
described in the employee handbook, with HR as responsible for
follow-up. Reported cases are escalated to regional or national
management bodies if necessary.
Aider's anti-money laundering policy is available on the intranet,
where all employees are required to familiarize themselves with
relevant policies as part of the onboarding process. Anti-money
laundering and GDPR training is mandatory for all employees. By
December 2024, 100% of all employees had completed the
necessary training.
G1-4 Incidents of corruption or bribery
Aider is committed to dealing with cases of corruption or bribery
in a prompt, independent and objective manner. Our
whistleblowing channel ensures that concerns can be reported
anonymously, and HR acts as an independent body in the
investigation of such cases. As of December 2024, we have no
convictions nor fines for violation of anti-corruption and anti-
bribery laws.
All employees have completed a 2-hour computer based
mandatory anti-money laundering and GDPR training, but there
are currently no dedicated training modules for corruption
prevention beyond this.
G1-5 Political influence and lobbying activities
Aider has no political advocacy or lobbying activities. Any public
advocacy lies with the company's CEO, and our industry
association, Regnskap Norge , which acts as our voice in
regulatory matters. We do not make financial or non-financial
contributions to political parties or organizations.
Furthermore, none of our management members have held
positions in public administration in the last two years prior to
joining Aider.
G1-6 Payment practices
Aider maintains efficient payment routines to ensure timely
payments to our suppliers. The average payment time is 18
days.
We operate with standard payment terms of 30 days for large
suppliers and 15 days for small and medium-sized suppliers. As
of today, 83% of our payments are in accordance with these
terms. We have 0 outstanding legal proceedings for late
payments.
Our payment practices are taken directly from the ERP system
Xledger, and we closely follow-up payment routines to ensure
stability and good relationships with our suppliers.
ESRS INDEX
This is an index showing how the various detailed requirements in the ESRS have been addressed in our sustainability report. The
overview has been prepared by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). All non-material and voluntary
