One of our major accomplishments this year was launching the Hornsea 3 Community Fund to support local groups and organisations in North Norfolk and parts of Suffolk in the UK who work with community facilities or activities, skills and education, or environmental projects. In September 2024, the fund announced its first round of awards, as a total of GBP 249,000 was distributed to 21 local organisations selected for their potential to strengthen community well-being and resilience.
These projects include educational initiatives to enhance skills, environmental conservation efforts, and programmes aimed at improving public health and social well-being. Among the funded projects are community centres, youth initiatives, and environmental programmes focused on boosting local biodiversity. The fund is made available as part of our project to create the world’s single largest offshore wind farm, Hornsea 3, and will award a total of GBP 7 million over a targeted ten-year period.

We work closely with materially affected communities to monitor issues raised and addressed while also assessing the effectiveness of these grievance channels. We currently assess the effectiveness of our mechanisms and communication channels through our ongoing dialogue with local stakeholders. We want to further improve our processes of assessing the effectiveness of these efforts and are working to establish a global methodology for aggregating community feedback and grievance management. This will allow us to systematically track and monitor the effectiveness of our efforts. Specifically, we aim to implement a standardised process for receiving, addressing, resolving, and providing remedies to affected communities when necessary. We plan to pilot a grievance reporting channel for a select supplier to collect workers’ grievances via a digital solution by 2025.
