The tables to the right and on the following pages list all of the ESRS disclosure requirements in ESRS 2 and the seven topical ESRS standards which are material to Ørsted, and which have guided the preparation of our sustainability statements. They can be used to navigate to information relating to a specific ESRS disclosure requirement (e.g. BP-1) or to our ‘entity specific data points’. They also show where to find information relating to specific disclosure requirements that lie outside of the sustainability statements and is ‘incorporated by reference’.

We develop, construct, and operate our renewable energy assets in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. We work continuously to integrate sustainability into our strategy and business model and to respond to the main challenges and opportunities ahead of us and in our industry. We have three strategic sustainability priorities – decarbonisation, biodiversity, and community impact – which play an enabling role in our commercial and project delivery. These priorities were confirmed by the result of our 2024 double materiality assessment (DMA) and reflect where strategic value is gained in our business model by creating positive impacts on nature and society. At the same time, we acknowledge the aspects of our strategy and business model that bring vulnerabilities and risks. Renewable energy requires significant amounts of natural resources, such as steel, with negative impacts on climate and the environment. The build-out also affects people and local communities. We therefore focus our efforts on making sure that we mitigate negative impacts while creating positive impacts by decarbonising societies, helping to protect nature, and making sure the build-out brings benefits to people, workers, and local communities.
