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.

We have identified two overarching decarbonisation levers. We allocate financial resources and dedicated resources to meet our emission reduction targets:

• Transition to renewable energy across our own operations to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions.
• Work with suppliers to reduce supply chain scope 3 emissions from materials and transport.

Scope of priority actions: We prioritise the implementation of our transition plan through priority actions, which are actions that have the greatest potential to reduce our GHG emissions. The scope of these priority actions includes our own operations (scope 1 and 2) and upstream value chain (scope 3). We track progress on these actions across all geographical areas where we operate, and we work in implementation with stakeholders across manufacturing, construction, and service operations, as well as with our suppliers. Vestas acknowledges that transition plans for GHG reductions could potentially have some material impacts on workers. For example, we acknowledge the need to continue to assess and consider the feedback from our colleagues in Service and Manufacturing, and our transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), to ensure these EVs meet all requirements for standard vehicles and that sufficient training is provided to operate the vehicles.
