Viljen / The will to win - Randers, Denmark - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"Skulpturen strækker sig mod himlen og udtrykker den handlekraft og passion, som medarbejderne besidder. Vestas ønsker at fremme en kultur, der er kendetegnet ved selvstændigt initiativ og samarbejde på tværs af faglige og organisatoriske grænser, og hvor den dynamik og ansvarsfølelse, der normalt kendetegner en mindre virksomhed, fastholdes. Samtidig afspejler skulpturens solide fundament den pålidelighed, omtanke og troværdighed, der er central for alle Vestas’ aktiviteter."

Sådan beskriver Vestas den blanke stål skulptur som står foran virksomhedens bygning i det sydlige Randers. Den oprindelige skulptur "Viljen" blev opstillet foran Vestas daværende globale hovedkvarter i Ringkøbing i 2002. Efterfølgende har VESTAS flyttet sit hovedsæde til Randers, og "Viljen" er blevet kopieret i adskillige eksemplarer, som i dag er opstillet foran mange af Vestas lokationer i hele verden.

"Reaching for the sky and symbolizing the willpower and passion possessed by the employees. Vestas seeks to promote a culture that is characterized by independent initiative and cooperation across professional and organizational boundaries and where the dynamism and sense of responsibility that usually characterize a small business, is maintained. The sculpture reflects solid foundation of reliability, common sense and credibility, which is central to all Vestas' activities."

This is how Vestas describes the shiny steel sculpture which stands in front of the company building in Southern Randers. The original sculpture "The Will to Win" was placed in front of Vestas former global headquarters in Ringkøbing in 2002. Subsequently, Vestas moved its headquarters to Randers and "The Will to Win" has been replicated in several copies, which is now placed in front of many of the Group's locations worldwide.
