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

How we work with the Transparency Act

• Complete mapping of all suppliers – to ensure a clear and secure overview.
• Mandatory signing of the Wonderland Code of Conduct – our ethical guidelines that all suppliers must follow.
• Self-assessment through the Wonderland Code of Conduct Score – where suppliers evaluate how they meet the requirements.
• Supplier visits with a focus on responsibility – we observe, ask questions, and follow up on site.
• Risk analysis using the Global Rights Index – to identify and act on potential risk areas.
• Clear documentation and full transparency – the results are published on our website under “About us.

Requests for information

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

• info@wonderlandbeds.com
• Wonderland AS, Strandgata 88, 6300 Åndalsnes, Norway

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

All our suppliers are required to sign our Code of Conduct, and we expect full compliance unless local laws or regulations in the supplier’s country override Wonderland’s guidelines. The Wonderland Code of Conduct also applies to Wonderland itself and is signed by our CEO.

Self-declaration

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

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

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

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

Identifying areas of concern

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

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

UN Global Compact

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

Assessment of production countries shall be carried out on an ongoing basis, and an overview should be compiled no later than the second quarter each year.

Supplier risk overview

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

Subcontractor risk overview

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

Our commitment

Through structured, long-term, and transparent practices, we ensure a supply chain where quality, safety, and responsibility go hand in hand. This is a central part of Wonderland’s work – and a natural foundation for us when developing products designed to provide the sleep quality you need that truly improves your life.
