Code of Ethics: The Cannonball Standard

Cannonball AS | Organisation No. 924458100 | Effective: July 2026

Operating at the pinnacle of luxury logistics in Norway comes with a profound responsibility. As one of the only providers in Scandinavia operating at the true ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) level, trust is our currency.

This streamlined Code of Ethics outlines the non-negotiable standards that govern every flight, voyage, and journey we execute. It is a commitment shared equally by our internal team, our global booking agents, and our elite transport partners.

1. Absolute Discretion (The Zero-Footprint Rule)

  • Strict Confidentiality: We protect all client identities, itineraries, and financial data behind secure, encrypted channels. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) are standard operating procedure.
  • Digital Blackout: Our team, crews, and partners operate under a strict zero-social-media policy. Taking photos, videos, or geotagging near client assets (jets, yachts, black cars) is strictly prohibited. Discretion means being invisible.

2. Safety Over Demand (The Uncompromised Line)

  • Command Authority: The professional judgment of our pilots-in-command, yacht captains, and security drivers is absolute and final. If severe Norwegian weather or technical factors compromise safety, the asset does not move.
  • Zero Pressure: We never pressure crews to bypass legal flight-time limitations or maritime safety protocols to meet a client’s timeline. Safety is our ultimate ethical boundary.

3. Radical Integrity

  • Unbiased Selection: We recommend aircraft, vessels, and local venues based solely on safety, quality, and client suitability—never for personal gain, kickbacks, or undisclosed commissions.
  • Total Transparency: We practice upfront clarity regarding international charter fees, operational limitations, and weather contingencies. No hidden costs, no surprises.

4. Elite Execution & Respect

  • Immediacy: We match the high-pressure pace of international fixers and family offices with flawless, secure 24/7/365 responsiveness.
  • Mutual Respect: We treat our clients with the highest level of deference, and our operational ground and flight crews with the professional respect they deserve as elite safety managers.

5. Protecting the Norwegian Landscape

  • Sustainable Luxury: To safeguard the pristine fjords, mountains, and skies we showcase, Cannonball AS actively prioritizes aviation partners utilizing Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), maritime operators running hybrid/low-emission vessels, and all-electric or hydrogen ground fleets wherever operationally viable.

This framework ensures Cannonball AS remains Scandinavia’s most trusted name in high-consequence luxury travel. We require all partners and contractors to uphold these principles without exception.
