We’re working to make sure sustainability runs through every relevant part of our operating model – from the way we make decisions to our governance structure and our organisational culture.
Why do we need to integrate sustainability across our operating model?
As a leading sustainable energy company, we need to embed sustainability systematically into the way we do business, continually integrating sustainability into all relevant parts of our operating model so that we’re all pulling in the same direction: towards a greener future.
“
To truly support and lead a renewable energy build-out that’s done right, sustainability must be systematically embedded into the way we do business
We want to make sure our organisation and stakeholders clearly understand what’s important to us, where we need to focus our efforts – and who is accountable for our sustainability performance.
What are we doing?
To integrate sustainability in a consistent manner across our operating model, we’re focusing on three strategic pillars:
- Roles and accountability: We’re ensuring that we have the right organisational setup and sustainability ownership to deliver on our priorities.
- Processes and decision gates: We’re integrating sustainability in all relevant processes across Ørsted to inform key business decisions.
- Culture and leadership: We’re embedding sustainability in the mindsets and behaviours of all employees, arming them with the knowledge and skills to contribute to meeting our ambitions.
