Sustainability is core for X Shore

X Shore’s view on sustainability.

Electrification of the transport sector, including the maritime industry, is essential in order to reduce global emissions and enable a global carbon net-zero economy by 2050. Leaving fossil fuels behind and going electric is an enabler of carbon net-zero boating, however, we cannot stop there. Every step of the supply chain and boat lifecycle must be free from carbon emissions for the industry to be part of a zero-carbon, climate-resilient future. And equally important, the prosperity of the people and local communities that contribute to our supply chain must be protected to ensure a long-term sustainable electric transition.

X Shore is at the forefront of this transition. We have set our sustainability aspirations high and strive to challenge and inspire the industry to follow. We also look for partners that can help us in developing the solutions required to reach our targets and ultimately enable our vision of zero-emission boating.

Our strategy and targets

In developing our sustainability strategy, we have considered the aspects that matter to our stakeholders as well as to the success of X Shore as a company. In our stakeholder perspective we have included Agenda 2030 by assessing which of the Sustainable Development Goals that we can contribute to and create the greatest positive impact in.

As a result, three strategic pillars form our sustainability strategy and together cover environmental impact, supply chain, people & culture as well as product impact. Each pillar is described in more detail alongside concrete targets in our strategy document below. We are on an ambitious journey and targets such as having our first carbon neutral boat leaving our factory gates in 2030 will be extremely challenging to reach. To get us there, we will work in partnership with our suppliers, peers, academia, and other stakeholders.
