In line with Vestas' Safety, Quality, Health, and Environmental (SQHE) Policy and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) framework, we have a commitment to proactively identify and manage all material IROs related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to promote risk-based thinking and acting. Our SQHE Policy and HSE framework together serve as the key policy anchors to manage all environmental IROs identified throughout the environmental sections of the sustainability statement i.e. E1, E3, E4 and E5.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions: The emissions from Vestas' own operations have a material negative impact on the climate, with 105 thousand tonnes of combined scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2024. This actual negative impact occurs in our own operations across the short, medium and long term.

Scope 3 GHG emissions: Scope 3 emissions represent a material negative impact for Vestas, as 98.8 percent of our total greenhouse gas emissions occur in our value chain. In 2024, 7.99 million tonnes of CO2e were emitted from our value chain, and our value chain scope 3 emission intensity was 56.6 kg/MWh. This actual negative impact occurs across the short, medium and long term.
