HSH in brief
• HSH is the principal organisation in Norway within the trade and service industry
• In trade, HSH covers all sectors and sales activities, i.e. retailers, wholesalers, agents, importers and chaines within all sectors.
• Most Norwegian imports are dealt with by companies belonging to HSH
• Besides commercial interests, HSH ranks among its members voluntary organisations, private health and care institutions, museums, travel companies, accounting services, employment bureaux and other organisations

Trade provides the basis for, and is therefore a prerequesite of, economic growth and thus the improvements to the common good.
Because of this, and because HSH is the organisation for Norwegian commerce, HSH has always been interestet in the conditions for international exchange of goods and services and HSH’s attention in these matters is particularly focused on imports to Norway and the significance of these imports.

How to find a channel for Chilean goods in the Norwegian market
• Do business with the leading groups in retail trade• You have to establish business relations with one of the leading companies in
your line of trade
• You can ask for a representative/ a trade agent
• Or if you are dealing with wearing apparel and footwear, you should attend a trade fair i. e. The fashion centres:• www.moteforum.no• www.fashionhouse.no• www.skomessen.no
• Or you can establish your own sales office, but this is not the simplest and cheapest way to penetrate the market

WHY IS ETHICAL TRADE AN ISSUE?
• Ethical trade became a growing issue during the 1990s because companies with global supply chains were coming under increasing pressure to ensure decent working conditions for the people who produce the goods they were selling
• A number of NGO and trade union campaigns raised consumers’ awareness of poor working conditions in factories and farms in developing counties
• A growing number of companies decided that they could no longer turn a blind eye

WHAT IS ETHICAL TRADING?
• ETI mainly focus is on human rights of supplier’s workers and their labour conditions
• An important aspect of ethical trading is that although the suppliers initially do not fully comply with Code of Conducts requirements, this should not lead the sourcing company to end a supplier relationship
• Focus is continous improvements
