The Vestas Safety, Quality, Health, and Environmental (SQHE) Policy and HSE framework outline the procedures in identifying, mitigating, and reporting health and safety related negative impacts and risks for own workforce as well as for contractors and suppliers in the value chain for all positions globally. The SQHE Policy is approved by the Executive Management and supported by our HSE management system based on the principles of ISO 45001. Reports on injury rate performance are shared with the Board on a quarterly basis, and with the Executive Management team on a monthly basis. Our SQHE Policy applies to all Vestas entities, employees, activities, products and services, and includes our expectations in relation to external parties. The policy is reviewed annually and was aligned with the ESRS and Vestas’ HSE framework in 2024.
