Lisbeth Frømling, Ørsted’s Safety Chief and newly appointed Chair of G+ is intent on redefining leadership in offshore wind. Sara Siddeeq reports.
There’s a quiet conviction in the way Lisbeth Frømling talks about her work. She doesn’t boast, but she leaves little doubt that the role she plays – and the mission she’s on – is anything but ordinary.
As Senior Vice President of Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) at Danish renewable energy giant Ørsted, Frømling holds a pivotal role in one of the world’s most ambitious energy transitions. Since 2020, she has been at the centre of the company’s efforts to build a global offshore wind business that prioritises not just green electricity, but also human lives.
Now, she’s taken on an even bigger challenge: steering the safety agenda across the entire offshore wind industry in her newly appointed role as Chair of G+, the sector’s global health and safety organisation.
