Governance

Governance that enables the right decisions


To deliver on our sustainability ambitions and make our business a force for good, all processes and decisions across our organisation need to pull in the same direction.


We want sustainability and integrity to be integrated into every aspect of how we do business. From how we manage our relationships to how we finance our operations and what we base our decisions on, sustainability must be a key consideration. 
 

This isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s also one of the best ways to ensure a resilient and future-fit organisation – one that can navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and reporting landscape. 

Key sustainability targets
  • Sustainability is embedded consistently across relevant steps of our operating model. 

  • All future projects are EU taxonomy-aligned.

  • Code of conduct risk screenings are performed on all sourcing contracts above DKK 3 million.

To be truly sustainable, we’re working to make sure sustainability is part of everything we do at Ørsted.

Responsible business partners
