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.

Vestas provides clear reporting mechanisms and appropriate channels for all members of the workforce to raise concerns and have them addressed. Their commitment and reference to grievance mechanisms, such as EthicsLine, are outlined in their policies, including the Human Rights Policy and Employee Code of Conduct. Employees can send questions and requests related to their employment via a service desk platform, a whistleblower platform, EthicsLine, and work councils in certain regions. Employees are encouraged to speak to their managers or contact their P&C Business Partner. All stakeholders, including members of Vestas' workforce, are encouraged to raise allegations relating to misconduct or impropriety through these channels. Vestas investigates alleged concerns raised and seeks resolution through EthicsLine, ensuring that concerns are addressed in a manner appropriate to the nature of the case.
