The Code expresses zero tolerance of modern slavery, child and forced labour or human trafficking. The Code also outlines how Vestas employees are expected to behave to prevent discrimination in the workplace, including harassment, as well as promoting equal opportunities and treatment.

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.
