Vestas has been ranked as a leading performer within environmental and climate change impact by global reporting body CDP.
In its most recent annual assessment CDP awarded Vestas an A- score, which places the company in the global leadership band and scores it above the industry, European and Global average.
The A- rating was calculated through evaluating Vestas’ performance across several areas including emissions reduction, ambition level and governance.
The CDP ranking measures the completeness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and best practices associated with the environment, such as setting ambitious and meaningful emissions reduction targets.
Vestas senior director and head of sustainability Lisa Ekstrand said: “Since launching our sustainability strategy in early 2020, where we announced some of the most ambitious goals in our industry, we have made a companywide effort to translate these goals into action.
“Since then, we have taken huge leaps forward within circularity, emissions reduction, setting clear expectations to our supplier network, and governance.
“While we have a long journey ahead of us to reach carbon-neutrality by 2030, this recognition from CDP confirms that Vestas is on a leadership trajectory within sustainability, and a strong partner that can help accelerate progress within climate change mitigation and environmental responsibility.”
Vestas said it is now also a member of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for Europe.
