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.

2022 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

Sustainability powering our strategy

Olivier Fontan, CEO

"We create a positive impact on the planet, people, and socie­ty through our sustainability efforts, which is a key differenti­ator and a competitive advantage toward our business priori­ties. This commitment now goes even deeper, as we aim for a bigger reach, both in capturing more energy from the wind with longer, more efficient blades and through our sustaina­bility strategy to have a bigger impact on the communities we live and operate in."

Environment

2022 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHT

Environment

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

Technology

2022 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.

People

2022 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.

Waste Recycling

2022 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

Waste Recycling

Our focus is on optimizing use of natural resources and improve existing blade designs to facilitate more recycled materials.

Aiming for bigger reach

Just like wind turbines have three blades capturing more wind, our sustainability strategy focuses in three dimensions, aiming for bigger reach: climate, circularity and people. All with the end goal of powering a more sustainable world.
