1. The company's report under the Transparency Act for 2022

The Act on Business Transparency and Work on Fundamental Human Rights and Decent Working Conditions (Transparency Act) aims to promote companies' respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in the production of goods and provision of services.

Ocean GeoLoop supports the purpose of the law and aims to contribute to promoting respect for fundamental human rights and requirements for decent working conditions in its operations. This also includes expectations that our suppliers - throughout the supply chain - and our business partners also act in accordance with this purpose.

Ocean GeoLoop is required to annually report on the company's due diligence assessments in accordance with the Transparency Act and disclose this no later than June 30 each year, as well as in the event of significant changes in the risk profile.

Ocean GeoLoop is subject to the Transparency Act. The company continuously carries out due diligence assessments and measures in accordance with the law. We have established internal control systems to ensure compliance.

Compliance with the Transparency Act is anchored in the company's board, management, and the organization. If you have any questions or need more information on how Ocean GeoLoop handles the Transparency Act, please contact the managing director: Odd-Geir Lademo, odd.geir. lademo@oceangeoloop.no

2. About the company's organization and scope of operations

About the company and the corporate group

Ocean GeoLoop AS is a green-tech company, using nature's own way of solving the challenges of our time in a circular way. The company has introduced the GeoLoop CC technology that captures point source CO2 emissions, using natural and harmless processes. In 2023 the company will build a pilot to further develop the e-Loop, a novel technology for electricity production. The GeoLoop CC and the e-Loop will help companies and countries to reach their goals of reduced emissions and to get access to renewable electricity for the green transition. The company is listed on Oslo Børs Euronext Growth under the ticker OCEAN.

Ocean GeoLoop develops technology that captures CO2 and valuable nutrients that are released. The company's core business is to offer its customers/partners access to its technologies and system solutions, both in the pilot phase and later in full scale. The company focuses on technology development and a business model where the company develops, builds, operates, and owns its technology and system solutions. A key element of the business idea is to leverage and take advantage of several of nature's own processes that are freely available. Converting carbon and nutrients into new resources to create value in a circular cycle. In doing so, the company turns what is considered a cost by many into income.

For Ocean GeoLoop, the Transparency Act is a natural part of our sustainability efforts.

Ocean GeoLoop's activities are only sustainable if our progress and profitability do not come at the expense of others' fundamental rights. Through the Transparency Act, the company aims to gain knowledge in order to work more on these issues with all suppliers and business partners. This is an important part of our strategy and is documented in the company's internal reports.
