The global shift to renewable energy is essential for strengthening energy security and independence and for countering climate change and biodiversity loss. With countries continuing to rely on offshore wind and other renewable technologies, the ability to develop, construct, and operate responsibly is becoming a decisive factor for success.

Ørsted’s vision is to create a world powered entirely by green energy, and our strategic aspirations include remaining the undisputed leader in offshore wind and being a globally recognised sustainability leader. 

Next step: value-chain emissions

By 2025, we had already reduced the emissions intensity of the energy we generate and our operations (scopes 1 and 2) by 98 % compared to a 2006 baseline.  

Now we’re working to reduce the remaining emissions across our value chain (scopes 1–3), mainly across the manufacture, installation, transport, and operation of our renewable energy assets. 

To achieve this, we’re working with suppliers to adopt new technologies that accelerate decarbonisation in sectors we rely on, such as steel and shipping. We are developing circular solutions with key suppliers to reduce the need for virgin materials. And we’re working with all key Ørsted suppliers to bring down our scope 3 emissions.
