OrstedESG & Sustainability Jobs

Danish energy company and one of the world's largest developers of offshore wind farms

Orsted is a Danish energy company that develops, constructs, and operates offshore and onshore wind farms, solar farms, and energy storage facilities, as well as providing bioenergy solutions. It serves utilities, governments, and large energy buyers across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Why it matters

Orsted transformed from a fossil-fuel-heavy utility into a renewables-focused business, and offshore wind is its core product. By building large-scale wind farms at sea - where winds are stronger and more consistent than on land - Orsted delivers low-carbon electricity to national grids at significant scale. This makes it a direct contributor to decarbonizing power systems, which is a foundational step in reducing economy-wide emissions.

Orsted is widely recognized as one of the largest offshore wind developers globally, with operational projects across the UK, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Taiwan, and the United States. The company has set science-based targets for its own emissions and publishes annual sustainability reporting, making it a significant employer for professionals in QHSE, sustainability, environmental impact assessment, and ESG roles.
