Sustainability Report 2023
The turbines produced and shipped in 2023 are expected to avoid 396 million tonnes of CO2e over their lifetime. We launched the Circularity Roadmap, recycled 188 blades, made progress in the CETEC project to design the world's first circular blade and introduced low-emission steel used in our wind turbine towers. We achieved a low total recordable injury rate of 3.0 per million working hours, increased our women in leadership from 23 to 24 percent, and reached +9,700 direct community beneficiaries through our CSR work.
More information about these topics and many others can be found in the Sustainability Report 2023.
