In 2024, Ørsted navigated a rapidly evolving industry landscape, necessitating organisational adjustments, including redundancies, to maintain our competitive edge. While both satisfaction and motivation levels as well as voluntary turnover remain healthy compared to industry benchmarks, the changes have had a noticeable impact on employee satisfaction and motivation and our voluntary turnover trend. This poses a short-term risk of increased voluntary turnover and lower morale, satisfaction, and heightened stress. To address these challenges, we are focused on our internal communication and change management, strengthening our focus on good leadership and mental health and reaffirming our commitment to transparency and the well-being of our workforce. Our commitment to upholding human rights is outlined in our 'Sustainability commitment', 'Global human rights policy', 'Global labour and employment rights policy', 'Stakeholder engagement policy', and 'Just transition policy'.

We see human rights as fundamental principles for protecting people’s dignity and ensuring freedom and respect both in our own operations, in the companies with whom we work, and in the communities where we operate. Our commitment to upholding human rights is outlined in our 'Sustainability commitment', 'Global human rights policy', 'Global labour and employment rights policy', 'Stakeholder engagement policy', and 'Just transition policy'. Our 'Global human rights policy' aligns with the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights (UNGPs), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the International Bill of Human Rights, and the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles & Rights at Work. The policy explicitly highlights our dedication to ensuring freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, the elimination of forced, trafficked, or compulsory labour, the effective abolition of child labour, and the elimination of discrimination in employment and occupation, among other critical issues.
