<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="norway-wealth-fund-watchdog-to-review-ethical-practices-in-key-industries">Norway Wealth Fund Watchdog to Review Ethical Practices in Key Industries</h2>   
<p>The periodic reviews, conducted by the fund's supervisory Council on Ethics, could result in divestments if those companies are found to be in breach of the Norwegian parliament's set ethical guidelines.</p>   
<p>The fund is a powerhouse of market impact, owning 1.5% of the world's listed shares in 8,700 companies. The Norway wealth fund watchdog assesses companies it invests in for adherence to standards that include workers' rights and environmental practices. Those failing to meet these minimum requirements risk exclusion from the fund or being placed on a public watch list.</p>   
<p>In a document filed with Norway's finance ministry on Oct. 10, the council said it would investigate labour conditions at several shoe producers.</p>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  
 <p>“Companies have a direct responsibility for working conditions within their own operations and gross, systematic breaches of workers' rights can lead to exclusions from the fund,” the Norway wealth fund watchdog stated.</p> 
</blockquote>   
<p>The document, seen by <em><a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/norway-wealth-fund-ethics-watchdog-scrutinise-shoe-producers-crypto-companies-2024-12-02/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reuters</a></em>, did not identify any companies and said it could not prejudge the outcome of investigations.</p>   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="norway-plans-novel-regulations-for-crypto-mining">Norway Plans Novel Regulations for Crypto Mining</h2>   
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://coincu.com/131270-norway-is-considering-ending-power-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Norway</a> is considering a law to regulate cryptocurrency mining operations on its soil. Under a proposed set of regulations, data centres that mine cryptocurrencies would need to declare their ownership and list the digital services provided.</p>   
<p>If approved, Norway would be the first European country to implement comprehensive regulations on data centres, focusing on sustainable energy use and environmental accountability.</p>
