Our Social Responsibility
Fostering a fair, safe, and inclusive work environment that empowers our employees to act with ownership is the foundation of how we operate and create long‑term value. We strive for safe and responsible operations across our own sites and our supply chain, uphold human rights and compliance standards, and support local development and access to energy. To bring this ambition to life, we focus on two topics: Health & Safety and Our People.
Focus Topic: Health & Safety
We put health and safety first, fostering a culture of shared responsibility and awareness, supported by industry-leading processes.
OUR KEY TARGETS
- We want to reduce our Total Case Incident Rate (TCIR) to 8.2 by December 2027.
- We want that >90 % of Nordex’ managers receive Safety Leadership Training by 2027.
- We want to implement mental health initiatives in at least four Nordex locations by 2027.
SAFETY TOGETHER
Our colleagues and business partners work across manufacturing, construction, service sites, and offices worldwide. And our goal is the same everywhere: everyone goes home safe and sound.
A GLOBAL STANDARD
The Nordex Group operates a unified, ISO 45001:2018 certified Occupational Health and Safety Management System across all global entities. Our central QHSE team sets the strategic framework, while local Safety Committees ensure compliance with national regulations. Our HSE standards are defined in the HSE Corporate Manual, translating our QHSE Policy into practical requirements for all operations, including subcontractors. We take a proactive approach with regular risk assessments, safety training, and continuous performance monitoring. Key HSE indicators are reviewed in scheduled management meetings to support ongoing improvement.
AWARENESS & TRAINING
Preventing incidents starts with awareness. That’s why our training programs and safety initiatives are designed not just to deliver instructions, but to heighten attention and empower our teams to recognize risks before they become real dangers. We believe that every training session and every awareness activity has the power to protect a life. Our global training program and local awareness initiatives connect real experiences with practical learning – helping colleagues understand not only what safe behavior looks like, but why it matters: for themselves, for their families, and for the people they work with every day – Safety Together.
INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT
As a member of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) since 2019, the Nordex Group actively helps drive the development of unified safety standards across the global wind industry. By contributing to GWO’s collaborative initiatives, we support the creation of high‑quality training frameworks that elevate health and safety performance throughout the sector – not just within our own operations. All Nordex technicians, as well as a growing number of our contractors, complete GWO‑compliant training modules including First Aid, Fire Awareness, and Working at Heights. This ensures a consistently high and internationally recognized level of safety competence across all Nordex sites worldwide.
10 LIVE SAVING RULES
To prevent severe injuries and address the key risks identified in our operations, we have established the Nordex 10 Life Saving Rules. Each rule reflects a minimum, non-negotiable safety standard. They apply to everyone – employees, subcontractors, and partners – and must be followed at all times, in every activity.
Focus Topic: Our People
We empower the people who drive our success to grow and thrive in inclusive, respectful workplaces worldwide.
OUR KEY TARGETS
- We want to ensure that colleagues in all countries where Nordex has offices have access to learning opportunities through the corporate learning ecosystem by Q1/2028.
- We want to increase the number of Females in Management to 25 % by end of 2030.
- We want to maintain a turnover rate at least 5 % lower than market average each year.
- We want to reduce new joiner voluntary turnover rate by 5 % during the first 12 months, by end of 2028.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
The diversity of our global workforce contributes to the Nordex Group’s success. We commit to this mindset in the Diversity & Inclusion Policy and the Human Rights Policy, sets gender equality targets across all levels, and supports the inclusion of a diverse team through various initiatives and measures.
LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
At the Nordex Group, we offer a holistic development ecosystem designed to help every team member grow, succeed, and shape their career with purpose. Our Compass Dialog creates dedicated space for open, meaningful conversations about aspirations, strengths, and growth opportunities – ensuring every colleague has a clear, supported path forward. With our UPWIND talent program, we actively invest in the potential of high-performing employees, offering targeted development, leadership coaching, and a global network that prepares them for future roles with real strategic impact.
Through our Trust.Listen.Lead. programs, we strengthen leadership capability at every career stage, fostering an inclusive, collaborative leadership culture that unites #TeamNordex worldwide. And with the learning platform Coursera, we empower employees to access world‑class learning and build the skills that drive innovation and the global energy transition.
