SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES
Ørsted has positioned strategic sourcing at the heart of its project delivery, building a Strategic Supplier Programme that treats renewable infrastructure development as a collective effort. Turbine manufacturers, vessel operators and steel fabricators are integrated into unified long-term frameworks. These partners are managed collaboratively rather than through separate contracts.
The company’ s Code of Conduct and Sustainability Standards for Suppliers function as shared benchmarks, establishing clear expectations around health, safety, environmental performance and biodiversity protection.
These standards help align every supply chain tier with project-level decarbonisation targets and ethical labour practices.
Suppliers engage through the Carbon Disclosure Project and tailored decarbonisation pathways. Ørsted supports these efforts with cost-reduction sessions, joint innovation trials and performance-linked incentives designed to embed efficiency.
Installation and maintenance contractors operate under the Global Operations Policy, which maintains consistent safety protocols across offshore locations.
Shipping partners deploying methanol-felled vessels and material suppliers developing recyclable blade technology contribute to a supply network moving toward sustainability.
Board-level oversight from the ESG Committee tracks network-wide progress and supports continued reduction of Levelised Cost of Energy.
