At the core of everything we do

Sustainability is part of the DNA of our company and we use the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals as overall guidelines.

Mastering complex challenges

To design, build and operate green energy projects is very complex because there are so many stakeholders involved in the process. From the land owners through the dialogue with the authorities the complicated processes of investment, construction, and operation.

Renewable power project development includes many demanding disciplines, but they must be mastered if the planet is to have a sustainable future.

This places great demands on us to draw on our extensive experience and for high ethical standards in everything we do. Both as a workplace and as an initiator, designer and constructor of plants that will be in operation for many years. Sustainability is at the heart of our business, which is why we are very much aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our contribution to the UN SDG's

The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet and people around the World. We support this at WindSpace. Of the SDG’s we strive to create specific results within the following goals:

Un 5

Gender equality

We are a company undergoing expansion and strong growth. This means that we recruit and hire personnel which provides us with an opportunity to engage in issues of diversity and gender equality. Our goal is to achieve as equitable and inclusive a workplace as possible.

Un 7

Affordable and clean energy for all

A large proportion of the world's greenhouse gas emissions are generated as a result of the methods we use to extract, convert and utilize fossil energy. WindSpace contributes to the reduced use of fossil energy by generating renewable energy on a large scale. This also promotes technology development with continued increased efficiency and ever lower costs.

Un 8

Decent work and economic growth

Our employees are employed in countries characterized by good employment conditions. However, we engage different subcontractors who in turn might employ personnel from countries that do not always have the same tradition of fair working conditions. We therefore have an important role in setting requirements for decent working conditions throughout the entire value chain of suppliers. In connection with the establishment of a wind power plant, local suppliers must be hired to the extent that they meet requirements regarding quality and competitive pricing.

Un 9

Industry, innovation, and infrastructure

Industries and infrastructures need to become more sustainable. WindSpace is constantly working to develop its business through innovation and using the latest technology. This is why we continuously attend industry fairs and are member of the relevant industry organizations to extend our network and knowledge.

Un 12

Responsible consumption and production

Our supplier agreements contain requirements that they must comply with the country's legislation regarding the environment, health and safety, labour law, bribery and corruption, while also complying with our code of conduct, both with regard to their own company and those that they, in turn, engage as sub-contractors. In the event of infringement, corrective measures are required, or otherwise the contract will be terminated.

Un 13

Climate action

Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, which has serious consequences for ecosystems, ocean acidification, human safety, food production, water supply, health and increased risk of natural disasters. WindSpace's business is about expanding the new generation of renewable energy in order to contribute to reducing greenhouse gases.
