- Depletion of natural resources and consumption of energy from fossil-based sources in manufacturing wind turbines
- Climate change induced physical risks impacting wind turbine sites; variability of wind affecting output; extreme climatic events hampering maintenance activities
- Management of waste, such as turbine blades
- Health and safety hazards intrinsic to manufacturing, commissioning and operations & maintenance activities
- Supply chains exposing to ESG risks such as depletion of natural resources, human rights abuses, workforce health and safety incidents
- Maintaining a high standard of corporate governance across a diverse portfolio spread over numerous decentralized and often remote operating locations
