Sustainability in Everything We Do

How do we define sustainability?

The concept of sustainability means being able to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

At Vestas, sustainability is grounded in our four corporate values:

  • Simplicity
  • Collaboration
  • Accountability 
  • Passion

 

Vestas Sustainability Strategy

It also means upholding sustainability in governance structures. We believe these efforts will help to elevate the standards of our industry as a whole.
