Compliance

Our customers, business partners and investors expect us to act responsibly and in accordance with the rules, and to comply with applicable laws. Compliance with legal requirements and internal guidelines is therefore an essential part of our business operations.

For this reason, the topic of compliance, i.e. adherence to legal regulations and internal guidelines, has gained considerable importance at wpd in recent years. With a Code of Conduct as a voluntary commitment to legally compliant, ethical behavior within the company, wpd would like to concretize this rule-compliant and responsible action and keeps it transparently for everyone. You can view the Code of Conduct here:

In this context, wpd has also adopted a Human Rights Policy. At wpd, we recognize that human rights must be acknowledged and addressed at the corporate level and throughout the lifecycle of all our wind and solar projects. The policy statement sets out the principles and requirements that guide our actions. You can find the policy statement on the protection of human rights here:

We encourage everyone to report all perceived compliance or human rights violations to wpd. For this purpose, wpd has set up a so-called “whistleblower system”. You can use this system to contact our Compliance Officer confidentially and, if you wish, anonymously.

These guidelines are supplemented by the Environmental and Social Policy. In the course of our business activities, we take into account environmental and social aspects, including the management of natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the interests of relevant stakeholders within the sphere of influence of our projects. The Environmental and Social Policy sets out the applicable principles and requirements in this regard.You can find the Health and Safety Policy here:

Our set of internal guidelines is complemented by the Environmental and Social Policy. While conducting our business activities, we recognize our responsibility to protect the environment including natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystems, and our stakeholders within the area of influence of our projects. Thus, we adopt environmental and social management as an essential part of our business activities. The Environmental and Social Policy can be found here:
