We firmly believe that these principles are integral to fostering a just transition to renewable energy. Therefore, it is our priority to ensure that adequate management systems are in place to identify, prevent, mitigate, and remedy any potential adverse human rights impacts. In cases where we identify potential adverse human rights impacts, we are committed to promptly and effectively providing and enabling remedies. Our grievance and remediation approach includes addressing any adverse human rights impacts on individuals, workers, and communities that we have caused or contributed to.

In 2024, we conducted a large campaign called Ørsted Safety Days with the objective of implementing Ørsted’s life-saving rules. The scope of the campaign was for sites, fabrication yards, and offices across all regions. All employees and contractors on sites were asked to join one of the Safety Day sessions, which were facilitated by different people leaders, including all Group Executive Team members. Ørsted’s life-saving rules have been developed in collaboration with G+, the Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation, to protect our employees, contractors working at our sites, and suppliers from serious incidents. The implementation of similar life-saving rules has led to a stronger safety culture and better general safety performance in other industries – the same outcome is expected in Ørsted.
