Read more about our Global labour and employment rights policy
We want sustainable energy to empower people, business and societies.
Our Code provides the foundation for our continuous engagement with business partners on their ethical, social, and environmental performance.
We work to ensure a sustainable, responsible, and inclusive working environment with fair labour and employment standards across all the markets where we operate.
It is a priority for Ørsted to ensure that we identify, prevent, mitigate, and remedy any potential adverse human rights impacts either caused or contributed to by, or directly linked to, our own activities and business relationships. This policy describes the way in which we respect human rights as described in relevant legislation as well as international standards and conventions.
We must act with integrity in our business dealings. Our policy underlines zero tolerance of bribery and similar corrupt practices, fraud and other types of inappropriate business behaviour.
We outline how we incorporate quality, health, safety and the environment in all our decisions and actions.
We commit to sustainable consumption and production patterns and integrate a circular design in our resource management processes.
We commit to ensure that water consumption and discharge are managed responsibly, particularly in regions of water scarcity.
We work to serve the needs of our customers and the societies we are part of. The policy outlines the principles behind our stakeholder dialogue.
A responsible approach to tax is essential to the long-term sustainability of our business. Our tax policy sets forward the principles by which we manage our tax affairs.

Upholding a safe environment free of bullying, discrimination, and harassment
Ørsted is dedicated to ensuring a safe and inclusive working environment for all employees. Upholding Ørsted’s guiding principles means actively working to create a working environment that is free from bullying, discrimination, and harassment. Such behaviours are unacceptable, as all Ørsted employees deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. In our annual People Matter survey, we measure and follow up on bullying and harassment.
