As a global company, Vestas has employees of many different nationalities, cultures, religious beliefs and political views. This calls for commonly agreed ethical practices and standards.
The Vestas Code of Conduct is a set of principles for ethical behaviour. It sets the standards in various areas that all Vestas employees must adhere to in order to uphold Vestas’ reputation as a company with a high level of integrity and trustworthiness. In this respect it sets out clearly what is expected from employees and people acting on behalf of Vestas. Bearing this in mind, the Vestas Code of Conduct also sets clear standards for what is acceptable behaviour from Vestas employees and people acting on behalf of Vestas.
Vestas is supporting its employees in the implementation of the Code of Conduct by providing training and information. All new employees in Vestas receive training in the Code of Conduct as part of induction training. Specialised e-learning is mandatory for selected target groups and available for all employees.
In addition, all employees have been informed of Vestas’ EthicsLine which can be used for reporting violation of company policies and for seeking guidance when faced with an ethical dilemma.
