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.

Every health and safety incident is one too many, and we thoroughly investigate each case to assess root cause and mitigation actions at the given site of occurrence. The inherent risk and negative impact of health and safety incidents is actual, short-term, localised and not widespread or systemic. When operating in a heavy industry it also becomes naturally connected to our business model and part of our strategy including commitments, targets and progress reporting aligned with our annual reporting cycle.
