The new governance integrates responsibility into the line organisation in Ørsted to ensure a focused set-up with a strong mandate to execute on sustainability topics. The new accountable persons in the Group Executive Team are individually accountable for driving progress on the assigned sustainability topic according to roadmaps, including defining key actions and allocating resources to secure progress on targets and ambitions. They will be supported by supportive decision forums as well as internal experts from the support functions on sustainability topics.

Supportive decision forums: The Decarbonisation Core Group and the Biodiversity & Community Impact Core Group will support the accountable persons in the Group Executive Team in delivering on our strategic sustainability priority areas. The two new groups will kick off in 2025 and consist of the Group Executive Team accountable person and senior leaders from functional areas with a clear role in delivering on the material sustainability matters. The groups have a tactical responsibility and decide on new sustainability initiatives needed to deliver on our ambitions and targets, guide implementation in the organisation, and act on IROs. The core groups will meet two-three times a year or pending need.
