A SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS ON A SUSTAINABLE PLANET
Sustainability performance
LM Wind Power has a long-standing commitment to sustainability reporting. We consider sustainability reporting as one of the key platforms to inform our stakeholders on our progress towards our sustainability targets.
Since we signed up to the United Nations Global Compact and published our first Sustainability report in 2010, our integration of Sustainability has continued to grow and develop within the organization. In 2013, we launched our first engagement program for employees, and not much later we formalized our Sustainability organization and top-level ownership with the establishment of the Global Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and Sustainability Council. The progress we made over the years culminated in the Management Team’s decision in 2016 to take the company carbon neutral by 2018 – an ambitious, industry-leading pledge. In 2018, we achieved this promise – becoming the first company in the wind industry to do so.
Our approach to Sustainability is to ensure long-term value creation for all our stakeholders. While achieving carbon neutrality was an important milestone for the company, we are now moving towards reducing carbon footprint in the upstream processes through initiatives like Zero Waste Blades by 2030 and in the downstream processes through blade recycling projects, so that we support an acclerated transition to a decarbonized future.

2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
Rising to the challenge
Olivier Fontan, CEO
"We are actively contributing to the development of a circular wind industry and collaborating with partners to make 100% recyclable wind turbines in future, addressing the issue of waste generation and inefficient use of raw materials. Backed by exceptional advances in technology, our efforts to make a fully sustainable product and turning waste into a resource will deliver exceptional value for our stakeholders and further strengthen our commitment to power a cleaner planet and future for us all. "

2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHT
Environment
Being in the renewable energy industry, we are part of the transition towards a more sustainable planet.

2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
Technology
Technology means doing everything we can to decrease the Levelized Cost of Energy and to make wind energy the most attractive form of energy.

2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
People
LM Wind Power is very much a people business. Our ability to manufacture blades is dependent on the people who build them, not machines or materials.

2021 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS
Waste Recycling
Our focus is on optimizing use of natural resources and improve existing blade designs to facilitate more recycled materials.
Zero Waste Blades
We have taken another step on our mission of powering a cleaner world, together with our partners. Our next contribution will be manufacturing zero waste blades by 2030.
In practice, it means we will send no excess packaging and materials from blade manufacturing to landfill or incineration.
