 Statement from COO
Subcontractors

On April 26 2016, subcontractors from all over Europe gathered at Vestas

headquarters in Aarhus to participate in the 2016 HSE Workshop.

If you dont work safely, there is no work for you!. COO Jean-
Marc Lechne repeated the phrase over and over again, during his
opening speech at the 2016 Subcontractor HSE Workshop. The message
was clear: Vestas will not cooperate with companies that work unsafely.
Work safely or we will find other companies to do the job.

Responsibility for safety always starts

with the management, but each and every

responsibility. It is of the utmost
importance that all employees and
subcontractors clearly understand our
individual responsibilities to ensure that
every Vestas workplace is a safe place to
work. .
