Ørsted has placed ninth in this year’s Global 100 sustainability ranking compiled by Corporate Knights, marking the ninth consecutive year the company has appeared on the list.
The company said its position was supported by a 2024 sustainable revenue share of 91% and a 2024 sustainable investment share of 99%. It also reported that, in 2025, it met its science-based scope 1–2 target and achieved its decarbonisation target, describing this as the point at which its green transformation was effectively complete.
According to Ørsted, renewable energy now accounts for 99% of total energy production. The company added that its scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity has fallen by more than 98% compared with 2006, and that 2025 was the first year with no coal used in its heat and power generation.
Ingrid Reumert, Senior Vice President for Global Stakeholder Relations at Ørsted, said the company remains focused on supplying renewable electricity to the grid while supporting decarbonisation. Looking ahead, Ørsted said it will continue strengthening sustainability across its business, including efforts to address scope 3 emissions through its net-zero roadmap. The company also reiterated that it is delivering an 8.1 GW construction pipeline and has 18.5 GW of renewables installed, alongside a historically large portfolio under construction.
