Sustainability Performance 2020

Safety awareness is further strengthened by the introduction of a fictional colleague, Crash, a crash test dummy featuring in a series of short films to showcase potential safety risks. One of the campaign’s goals was to remind employees that EHS is more than work instructions - it is a mindset. To ensure our safety management systems are on par with international best practice, we certify all production sites according to ISO 45001. All of our production sites passed such certification in 2020. Tracking our performance To track our performance, we score our plants according to the EHS Framework 2.0- a holistic collection of procedures of differ- ent EHS aspects. We apply two types of indicators to manage safety at LM Wind Power – leading and lagging indicators. Lead- ing indicators provide early warning signs of potential failures, leading to proactive, preventive, and predictive measures before major safety incidents actually take place. On the other hand, lagging indicators, such as rate of injury and illness, days away from work are records of failure in the safety barrier, leading to corrective actions after incidents have already taken place. Despite disruptions from Covid-19, 2020 was another year with solid safety performance. Well below the target of 0.7, our Ill- ness & Injury rate went down from 0,84 per 200,000 working hours in 2019 to 0.56 in 2020. Likewise, we also saw a reduc- tion in Days Away From Work rate from 0.39 in 2019 to 0.32 in 2020, exactly meeting our target of 0.32. Looking into the future, Laurent Bastard, our Global EHS Director in 2020 commented that though we see a significant reduction of I&I rates and the Days Away From Work rate, we must remain vigilant. We need to be better at managing risks against the huge delivery targets for the years to come. Addressing COVID-19 challenges for our employees and communities Our number one priority is the health and safety of our employ- ees. We are working closely with local governments, the World Health Organization (WHO), and U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to actively monitor the virus and take all necessary pre- cautions. Across our businesses, we are in constant communica- tion with employees, customers, suppliers, and governments to maintain business continuity to the best of our ability. Throughout this time, many of our sites have remained open as we continue to deliver for our customers, keeping power flow- ing, hospitals operating, and planes flying.  Below are some of the specific actions we have put in place to support safety, health, and wellness of our employees in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:  • GE established the COVID-19 Task Force to ensure we're doing everything in our ability to protect the health and safety of our employees globally and align with the various government directives and medical advisories in real time. • In GE Renewable Energy, medical and EHS established a robust process, securing proper protection of our employ- ees. We constantly utilize external and internal sources to keep our protective measures to the high standard.  • We undertake site-wise management based on data collected and shared experiences – • Safety stocks of personal protective equipment (PPE) and other critical supplies maintained. • Local crisis team in close contact with special appointed LM Wind Power Steering Committee. • Active follow up of positive cases, close contacts, and quarantine protocols. • Issued travel guidance to enforce the travel policy and restrictions. • Local statistics to monitor high impact areas (local COVID-19 statistics from where our workers are coming from). • Local medical support made available. • Communicate regularly about the back-to office policy and safety protocols. • We place a continued focus on COVID-19 impact on mental health. GE’s #NotAlone campaign was launched to reinforce for our employees that it’s okay to seek help with emotional wellbeing and resilience. 19 | LM WIND POWER SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE 2020
