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.

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 changing 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 S1-3.
