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 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.
