SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE
Our sustainability, ESG governance and risk management are overseen by our the Globeleq Board through a CEO-led Sustainability Forum.
This quarterly forum brings together shareholder representatives and Globeleq senior leadership, including those responsible for sustainability across the business.
We have established policies and a comprehensive Sustainability Integrated Management System based on international best practice. The system embeds sustainability throughout the full lifecycle of our projects and operations.
Health and Safety
The safety of our employees, contractors and visitors is fundamental to how we operate.
Through strong leadership, robust systems and a culture of personal responsibility, we work every day to prevent incidents and create safer workplaces across our operations.
Investing in our people is fundamental to this approach. We support our plant leadership teams as well as the Health and Safety and Environment (HSE) professionals in obtaining recognised health and safety management qualifications, ensuring that this remains at the heart of operational decision making and performance. Our Sustainability Integrated Management System is aligned with ISO 45001, and operating plants are certified to this standard.
Our health and safety performance track record remains exceptional, and since 2018, our annual health and safety performance rate has consistently ranked in the top decile of the industry* (*based on data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Code of Conduct
Living our values means we always operate legally and ethically. The Globeleq Code of Business Conduct sets out the standards by which we behave and carry out our operations and business practices. While the Code covers several topics, it can be summarised in one simple sentence: Do what is right.
Ethics and Compliance
At Globeleq, we make responsible, considered decisions. We take responsibility for our people, partners, projects, plants, and planet seriously and hold ourselves accountable at the highest level.
Globeleq’s ethics and compliance objectives are:
- To meet the highest ethical standards,
- To commit and comply with applicable laws, standards, and policies, and,
- To stop, alert, report and address any potential misconduct.
To this end, we have established policies and procedures, including regular and periodic risk assessments, written standards and controls, training and communications, audits, tracking and addressing anomalies.
The programme pertains to Globeleq’s employees and all those who work on Globeleq’s behalf as contractors and other third parties.
If you have a concern or know of a potential violation please report it through the Globeleq Compliance & Ethics Hotline

Diversity, Equality & Inclusion
We believe that diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds make us stronger, helping us innovate, grow and deliver greater impact across the communities and countries we serve.
