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.

Employee data is recognized based on records from the Group's ordinary registration systems and is determined as the number of employees at the end of the reporting period. Employees who have been made redundant are recognized until the expiry of their notice period, regardless of whether they have been released from all or some of their duties during their notice period. The number of FTEs is determined as the number of employees converted to full-time equivalents. Following the implementation of the ESRS, the company is reporting the number of employees as a head count.
