About

The Wind Sustainability Initiative (WSI), launched by the Global Wind Energy Council in 2024, is a global certification scheme for the wind energy sector to build trust, transparency, and long-term sustainability across the wind supply chain. Working with a multi-stakeholder group comprising industry, investors and civil society, WSI advances responsible practices through credible, practical, and harmonized certification mechanisms. The initiative will also expand to include a traceability standard, providing assurance of the origin and flow of key materials and components across the wind value chain.

WSI Objectives

Create robust, internationally recognized standards and its assurance process for the wind energy supply chain, incorporating global and industry best practices and guidelines.
Establish a multi-stakeholder governance group to steer the initiative, ensuring accountability and representation of global industry, investment stakeholders and civil society.
Develop a framework for third-party auditing and certification to ensure compliance and transparency, accelerating global wind energy deployment to meet climate goals.

Governance

The Board of the Wind Sustainability Initiative is designed to be diverse and multi-tiered, ensuring balanced representation across the wind energy ecosystem. The WSI Board will include key stakeholders such as wind developers, OEMs, financiers, and civil society representatives.

In addition, a broader group of stakeholders will participate in an observer capacity, bringing diverse expertise and transparency to ensure an integrated and balanced approach to supply chain sustainability.
