Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Policy (DEIB Policy) sets out Vestas’ approach and strategy to diversity and inclusion. The policy includes our DEIB mission statement and commitment to ensuring all potential, future and current employees are guaranteed equal opportunities and fair treatment, regardless of their background. The policy prioritises commitments to diversity, equitable opportunities, an inclusive culture, inclusive leadership, and a respectful, discrimination-free workplace that adapts to regional needs. The policy focuses on people from groups at particular risk of vulnerability related to gender, ethnicity, age, and seniority. By focusing on equitable opportunities, Vestas ensures that all employees, regardless of their background or individual circumstances, have access to resources and support needed to succeed and thrive. In case of discrimination Vestas encourages employees to utilise our whistleblower platform EthicsLine, which is further documented in section SI-3.

Training and skills development initiatives are led by the People & Culture function and various functional Learning & Development teams across Vestas. See SI-4 Working Conditions for details on how these actions are identified and resourced. The Global Head of DEIB identifies and leads actions relating to equitable opportunities, working closely with regional teams and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). DEIB actions are supported by a dedicated budget for diversity and inclusion-related training, awareness raising sessions, and region-specific initiatives. The DMA did not identify any material negative impacts relating to equal treatment and opportunities for all, so no remedial action has been required to date during the year. The scope of the actions below apply to recruitment, training and skills development undertaken across all Vestas’ operations.
