Sustainability Report 2022
The turbines produced and shipped in 2022 are expected to avoid 408 million tonnes of CO2e over their lifetime. We launched the Circularity Roadmap, recycled 475 blades compared with 285 in 2021, and made progress in the CETEC project to design the world's first circular blade. We achieved a low total recordable injury rate of 3.3 per million working hours, increased our women in leadership from 21 to 23 percent, and reached 7,572 direct community beneficiaries through our CSR work.
More information about these topics and many others can be found in the Sustainability Report 2022 titled "Scaling-up sustainably with strategic partners".

Sustainability Ratings
At Vestas we welcome the increased focus on and need for transparent ESG ratings asked for by our stakeholders, especially investors and customers. At the same time, we see a growing demand for providing the needed data and have therefore implemented a yearly evaluation process to determine which ratings to support in the coming year.
