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.

Furthermore, we have the responsibility to safeguard the labour conditions of our employees through social protection. This encompasses support for circumstances such as sickness, unemployment, employment injury, parental leave, and retirement. Additionally, we have an internal policy on mental well-being for all employees, with a focus on enhancing the mental well-being of our workforce, mitigating mental strain, such as work-related stress and anxiety, and providing guidance to employees and leaders on addressing these concerns.
