MHI Vestas Offshore Wind's response
Mitigation of Adverse Impacts
MHI Vestas uses a risk-based approach and asks our suppliers to sign and follow the MHI Vestas Offshore Wind (MVOW) supplier Code of Conduct. It is an integrated part of the sourcing process so all new supplier agreements must contain a signed Code of Conduct...Our segmentation showed that 1% of our supplier base is considered high risk, and the appropriate audits are being initiated.
Implementation and Results Tracking
MHI Vestas ensures that our due diligence processes are appropriate to the risk level we face. Thus far, the risk level we have faced (with 99% of our supply chain in low risk countries) has been low. That is changing with a higher footprint in high risk countries. Therefore we have updated our due diligence process, which we described in last year's annual CSR report...
Transparent Communication
MHI Vestas reports on our progress within all CSR/Sustainability focal points in our company's Annual Report...We are in the process of updating the MHI Vestas website with CSR reports; however, specific data and related activities can be found in our annual CSR reporting
