“Conflict Materials : In 2021, Vestas established an external system to increase transparency in relation to conflict minerals within our supply chain, as the first step to managing this risk. Vestas conducts supply chain due diligence on conflict minerals, following the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals with the aim of ensuring that we are not contributing to human rights violations. Due diligence entails verifying the risk level of smelters from where our suppliers source minerals and metals (tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold) that are used in their products.”

“As part of this process, we rely on our suppliers to provide information on the origin and sources of the minerals and metals they use, because Vestas does not source minerals or metals directly. For this purpose, we use the internationally recognised Conflict Minerals Reporting Template for supplier reporting on smelters.”
