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.

Vestas has identified equal treatment and opportunities for all to be material in relation to Vestas’ workforce. We identified material positive impacts relating to diversity and training and skills development. All members of our workforce who could be materially impacted by Vestas are included in the scope of this disclosure. Vestas values the diversity of its workforce, which spans our global operations. We strive to strengthen representation and equity within our workforce while fostering an inclusive culture through initiatives such as recruiting from diverse talent pools, conducting unconscious bias training, and implementing our DEIB policy. Vestas supports growing female participation in corporate leadership positions through a range of practical initiatives including setting internally and externally shared goals. A diverse and inclusive working environment positively impacts all members of the workforce through improved well-being, greater psychological safety, and enhanced opportunities for collaboration and innovation. These benefits are evidenced by recent Employee Engagement Survey (EES) results, highlighting that respondents feel accepted at Vestas. This actual positive impact occurs in our own operations in the short term. Beyond its internal benefits, Vestas’ focus on diversity and inclusion supports our long-term growth and enhances our competitive advantage.
