Own operations: As we continue to grow, we’re committed to maintaining our strong health and safety performance. This means developing more resources, tools, and services to support our employees. We focus on providing leadership training and ensuring that both internal and external resources are available to all our employees.
Supply chain: Our approach is to prioritise support for high-risk and less experienced suppliers in areas related to QHSE. We also aim to foster innovation and continuous improvement with our long-term supply chain partners. We continuously identify and address QHSE-related risks using standard risk management principles, which includes considering external sources of risk. We actively monitor and assess our suppliers' QHSE management systems. We’re also exploring ways to strengthen our approach to ensure that suppliers meet legal and Ørsted requirements in managing QHSE risks effectively.
Moreover, we’re working on regionalising our QHSE setup to provide better support to high-risk suppliers at their respective sites. Our aim is to have QHSE support from colleagues who understand the local culture and language. In 2023, relevant QHSE teams will receive training on the Code of Conduct, specifically addressing the topic of harassment. This training will enhance their ability to identify and report cases of harassment in our supply chain. Additionally, the
Responsible Business Partner programme will launch an anti-bullying, discrimination, and harassment campaign for all* vessel supplier categories at Ørsted in 2023.
