We identify and manage any material actual or potential impacts on affected communities through our human rights based approach. On a corporate level, we conduct our Corporate-Wide Human Rights Assessment, while Vestas conducts project-level social due diligence on certain projects in scope. Our 2024 double materiality assessment identified two key impacts related to affected communities: negative land-related impacts and negative impacts on the right to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent of indigenous and tribal peoples.
