Our workforce is governed by a comprehensive set of policies designed to prevent risks, injuries and any harm at work, ensuring fair and equitable treatment, and protection of human rights. Our Human Rights Policy and Employee Code of Conduct (The Code) have been developed to set a high level of commitment within these areas including ethical principles and standards. Human Rights Policy: Our Human Rights policy outlines our commitment to respect human rights, including labour rights, of people in Vestas’s own workforce and our value chain. Vestas applies international, best practice standards in circumstances where local laws and regulations set lower standards and do not prohibit their application. The policy applies globally in our own operations and therefore covers all members of our workforce. The commitments in this policy also apply to our business partners, such as customers and suppliers, across our whole value chain where we seek to use our leverage to promote respect for human rights. The policy addresses the management of impacts, risks, and opportunities related to working conditions and equal treatment and opportunities for all. This includes respecting the labour rights of our own workforce and engaging with our own workforce. The policy is available for all employees and other stakeholders at our corporate website. The application of the policy is monitored through our due diligence framework both upstream and downstream in our value chain, as well as through our Corporate-Wide Human Rights Assessment conducted every three years. The Human Rights Policy was introduced in 2010, before which we considered various internal stakeholders, and it was was revisited in 2015 and 2019. The policy is signed by the Board Chair, and Executive Management holds the highest level of accountability for implementing the policy.

During 2024, Vestas did not identify any areas with operations at significant risk of incidents of child labor. The Vestas Employee Code of Conduct (the Code) sets out the behavioural expectations Vestas has to the members of its own workforce globally. The Code sets the standards and commitments to ensure a safe and ethical workplace, respecting the human rights of all stakeholders engaged, to create a workplace free from discrimination and to respect human rights. The Code therefore governs Vestas’ approach to managing S1 related IROs under working conditions, health and safety, equal opportunities as well as the G1 IROs related to political engagement, see G1-5 page 127.
