At Ørsted, we prioritise and protect the physical, social, and psychological safety of everyone in the workplace. Through our robust health and safety management system, which is fundamental to our operations and to secure a safe system of work, we foster a culture that promotes our employees’ health and safety. All (100 %) of our employees are covered by our health and safety management system. We have established a 'Global policy for quality, health, safety, and environment (QHSE)', setting the standards for how we protect and ensure the well-being of our employees and the sustainability of our operations. The policy covers all our employees and facilities, with accountability resting with our Head of QHSE. We aim to incorporate equality, health, safety, and environment in all our decisions and actions, and we have implemented workplace accident prevention procedures to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees.

We work actively to ensure a safe and inclusive working environment as all employees deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Employees can report grievances and complaints via the designated mechanisms, depending on the nature of the incident. Regardless of the reporting mechanisms and its severity level, we take all incidents seriously and handle all cases in a professional and confidential manner where all parties’ needs are taken into consideration. Access to remedy helps ensure fairness, justice, and protection for individuals and communities. It allows people to seek recourse and find a solution when they feel that their rights have been violated, promoting a more equitable and fairer workplace. If any employee feels they have experienced an instance of bullying, discrimination, or harassment, they are encouraged to seek support. We have established various grievance and complaint mechanisms for our employees, which are described on our intranet and summaries.
